Access Arts Inc®
A Model Workplace Creativity is Good Business
Access Arts proactively recruits and employs skilled administrators, arts workers and volunteers experiencing a range of disabilities. Developing local, regional, national and international reciprocal partnerships and the provision of appropriate training and skill development opportunities are an essential element of our philosophy for staff, volunteers and members.

Membership Services staff provide creative support, encouragement and programs for members of the organisation experiencing disability or disadvantage, which is enhanced by first-hand knowledge of living with a disability.

Access Arts is also strongly committed to indigenous members. We endorse the communities desire for self determination. and our staff are participating in gaining knowledge of Indigenous protocols. This does provide a base for the indigenous community members to build more collaborative networks, strengthen cultural activity and gain access to training and employment through programs of creative development.

The accessibility of the Access Arts workplace is a significant factor in making it conducive for staff with disabilities. The flexibility exists for staff to support one another when unexpected issues arise. These could include illness, family commitments or having time out to deal with the impact of each individuals’ particular disabilities.

The office space is physically welcoming, wheelchair access and accessible software is purchased for staff and members with visual, and other impairments. As a result there is increased productivity levels and less pressure on staff to have to adapt to a poorly designed workplace.
