Ensuring DDA compliance is not just about meeting legal requirements. It’s about creating environments that are fair, inclusive, and functional for people of all abilities. At Domatic Access, we work closely with building professionals, business owners, and service providers to help them understand and achieve compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA).
Through a combination of access audits, plan reviews, and consulting, we help identify issues and guide practical improvements, whether you’re building new, renovating, or reviewing an existing space. With deep technical expertise and lived experience, we make the path to DDA compliance clearer and more achievable for organisations across sectors.
DDA compliance refers to ensuring that your premises, policies, and services do not discriminate against people with disabilities. Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, it’s unlawful to provide unequal access to public spaces, facilities, education, employment, or services.
For property owners, businesses, and designers, this means the built environment must be accessible, and aligned with the Access to Premises Standards 2010, the National Construction Code (NCC), and relevant Australian Standards (like AS 1428).
However, simply following codes doesn’t always guarantee compliance. This is why working with a qualified DDA consultant is crucial. At Domatic Access, we help clients move beyond checklists to consider how spaces function in real-life situations, making sure your facilities are both compliant and genuinely inclusive.
Domatic Access offers a range of services that support DDA compliance at all stages of a project:
- Accessibility Audits. Assessing existing buildings for compliance gaps, risks, and improvement opportunities
- Plan Reviews. Reviewing proposed building or renovation plans to ensure access features are properly integrated
- Consulting & Strategy. Helping organisations understand their responsibilities and take practical steps toward better accessibility
Our audits go beyond minimum requirements. We consider how users interact with the environment every day, whether it’s someone using a mobility aid, navigating signage with vision loss, or needing access to hearing augmentation systems.
Because our team includes lived-experience professionals, we understand the impact of poor design and the importance of proactive, user-friendly spaces.
