The Australian Standard AS1428 – Design for access and mobility specifies the design requirements for new building work, as required by the Building Code of Australia (BCA), as well as the Disability (Access to Premises - Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards). Specifically, it focuses on design elements that aim to make buildings accessible to people with disabilities.
AS 1428.1 includes guidelines on aspects of design, such as: general requirements, accessible toilets, car parking, entrances and exits, ramps and gradients, handrails and balustrades, tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs), and visual and auditory impairments.
Note: Always consult the latest version of the standard for the most current specifications.
