Accessibility and the Premises Standards for Architects
$99.00 GST
Accessibility is not one rule set. It is the Disability Discrimination Act, the Premises Standards, the NCC and AS 1428 all landing on the same drawing.
This one hour CPD course for architects covers how those instruments fit together, how AS 1428 provisions shape your documentation, and where concessions and performance solutions genuinely apply on new and existing projects.
Fully online and self paced. Your certificate is issued the moment you finish and is stored in your account.
Description
Throughout this course, you will explore the legal and regulatory framework that governs accessibility in Australian buildings, including the Disability Discrimination Act, the Premises Standards, and the National Construction Code. You will gain an understanding of how accessible design requirements are applied in practice and how AS 1428 provisions influence architectural documentation. The course will examine concessions, performance solutions, and common compliance challenges that arise on both new and existing projects. You will also learn how effective documentation and coordination can help manage risk, support compliance, and create more inclusive built environments. By the end of the course, you will be better equipped to integrate accessibility considerations into every stage of the design process.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
