Australiaforall.com

www.australiaforall.com is an international web site devoted entirely to accommodation, leisure and unique venues to be found in many countries around the world which is accessible to tourists with disabilities.  It has been constructed to enable tourists with disabilities to obtain information quickly and easily about the accessibility of the accommodation or other facilities they wish to visit. All the accommodation and venues on this web site are accessible to people with disabilities and those same facilities are also enjoyed by older tourists who appreciate the fixtures and fittings, to be found in the toilets and shower areas in designated room,, to aid their balance.  Families with young children also appreciate the extra size of these wheelchair accessible facilities.

One  important criteria required for inclusion on this web site is that, as far as possible, panels for advertising any accessible accommodation, include photographs showing both the toilet and shower facilities in an accessible room.  The reason why we require photographs of these specific areas of accessible rooms  is so that potential guests  requiring grab rails etc, can see these fixtures and fittings and  decide at that time whether they meet their personal needs  Having this information  saves any misunderstanding about the accessibility of the facility.

www.australiaforall.com is playing an important role in the lives of travellers with physical, visual and hearing impairments.   The information that it provides has been self-assessed and/or photographically verified to meet the various criteria levels of accessibility demanded for inclusion.

A number of tourism operators are not always aware of what constitutes ‘disability’ .  The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 defines disability as:
Total or partial loss of a person’s bodily or mental functions;
Total or partial loss of a part of the body;
The presence in the body of organisms causing disease or illness;
The presence in the body of organisms capable of causing disease or illness;
The malfunction, malformation or disfigurement of a part of a person’s body;

A disorder or malfunction that results in the person learning differently from a person without the disorder or malfunction;
