Disability access in your business
Businesses across Goomalling can do their bit to assist local people with disabilities and their families. There are many ways that the business community can welcome people with disabilities both as employees and as customers. Businesses have the potential to benefit substantially by improving customer service and considering the needs of all of their consumers including people with disabilities in their business planning and development. The Disability Services Commission is the State Government agency that funds and provides services to Western Australians with disabilities and their families and carers. The Commission’s website, www.disability.wa.gov.au has a section for businesses under its "Business and Government" heading. You will find information about:
- employing people with disabilities;
- building social capital;
- customer service for people with disabilities;
- awards for accessible businesses;
- complaints and legislation; and
- useful resources and links for the business community.
