We’re looking to better understand experiences at live music events.
We’re inviting people with disability and support workers and carers to take part in a 60-minute online focus group.
This is an opportunity to share:
• Your recent experiences at live music events
• Any barriers you’ve faced
• What could make these experiences better
• What accessibility support or information would help
As a thank you, participants will receive a $100 Ticketmaster voucher.
If you’re aged 18+ and interested in taking part, you can register via link in bio.

EOFY question - Where does this budget actually make a difference?
The best answers are simple:
• Support your team
• Improve consistency
• Remove friction
If accessibility and inclusion are part of that conversation, there are practical ways to approach it.
That’s where real change happens. EOFY packages availabe - link in bio.

The Venue Upgrade Grants 25/26 are now open, with funding covering assessments, planning and advice - not just the final build.
Accessibility isn’t something you bolt on at the end. It shapes how people move through a space, how they engage with it, and whether the experience actually works for them.
If you’re exploring the grant, we’ve pulled together how we support delivery: Link in bio.

Ability Fest is back in two days.
Big lineup. Bigger energy. Even better when everyone can be part of it.
This is what it looks like when inclusion is considered from the start - more people in the crowd, more shared moments, and an experience that brings everyone into the same space.
Part of what makes @abilityfest and @dylanalcottfoundation hit different - inclusion isn’t separate, it’s just part of the experience.
Video description in comments.
Large-scale events like the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix require enormous planning - from crowd movement and infrastructure to hospitality and safety.
A recent article by FM Media (Facility Management) highlighted how accessibility is being considered within the infrastructure overlay at the Australian Grand Prix, including upgrades such as new overpass lifts to support movement around the venue.
From infrastructure planning and accessibility services to sensory-friendly initiatives and accessible communications, the goal has always been the same: ensuring everyone can experience the event.

Get Skilled Access is strengthening our national access consulting capability with the appointment of Tanisha Simunic, Senior Access Consultant.
As expectations around accessibility continue to grow across the built environment, organisations are increasingly looking for advice that goes beyond minimum compliance and supports real-world usability.
Tanisha brings more than nine years of experience across public realm, transport infrastructure and health projects, combining strong technical knowledge with practical, solution-focused advice.

Today at NSW Parliament, the findings of the Real Access, Real Choice national trial were released.
Delivered by GSA and commissioned by Uber, the 12-week national trial examined what happens when transport subsidies follow the person, not the provider.
The results were clear:
• 96% felt safe
• 92% felt more independent
• 98% supported permanent inclusion of rideshare in subsidy schemes
Transport shapes independence, employment and social participation. Evidence-led reform matters.

Accessible and inclusive tourism is built through practical, everyday decisions.
We partnered with @destination_nsw to develop a six-part video series supporting tourism businesses to strengthen accessibility and inclusion, across events, marketing, digital content and customer experience.

Do you know what an audio described video is?
It’s narration that explains what’s happening visually - expressions, movement, on-screen text - so people who are blind or have low vision aren’t left guessing.
Most brands don’t think about it. We do.
This is the audio described version of our Just Be campaign. Because accessible communication shouldn’t be a bonus feature. It should be built in.
Inclusion isn’t an add-on.
It’s design. It’s intention. It’s everyday decisions.
Watch the full campaign and accessible versions via the link in bio.

Funding is only the beginning. Delivery is where inclusion is tested.
We work as a delivery partner on government-funded disability inclusion initiatives, supporting organisations once funding is secured and implementation begins.
We focus on the systems behind inclusive outcomes:
• Governance and delivery structures
• Workforce capability
• Lived-experience-led practice
• Sustainability beyond the funding period
This work includes large-scale, publicly funded programs such as @sport4allau embedding inclusion across systems, workforces and communities rather than through one-off activity.

As the year comes to a close, we’d like to wish you a safe and restful holiday period, and thank you for being part of the work we’ve shared throughout the year at GSA.
Thank you again for your trust and collaboration. We look forward to continuing the work together in 2026.
Holiday closure: We will be closed from 24 December 2025 to 4 January 2026. We’ll respond to enquiries as soon as possible when we return in the new year.

Every story shared this IDPwD reminded us why accessibility matters every day.
Across tourism, sport, events, and workplaces, organisations are taking practical steps to embed disability inclusion into how they operate and engage with communities.
