Naturally Accessible is a new approach to improving access for people with disability. It’s about improving access through information, rather than infrastructure.
Naturally Accessible makes bushwalking accessible, naturally, by providing details about the track conditions and what people can expect. Currently, walks are graded as accessible or not accessible, but disability is not binary.
The Naturally Accessible framework allows visitors to choose if a walk is accessible for them. It has been developed for people with mobility based disabilities, such as people who use a wheelchair or a walking stick, but also benefits people with heart/lung conditions or simply people ageing with arthritis or back pain.
