2022 Review of the Transport Standard—Summary report

Date published:

 

In Australia, public transport operators and providers must make sure their services are accessible for people with disability. This is managed through the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (the Transport Standards). The Transport Standards are made under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and need to be reviewed every five years to make sure they are still fit-for-purpose.
