Information Bulletin – 12 July 2024

Please consider filling out following survey from Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts by 02 August 2024 – 5pm AES

The Department has identified there’s low public awareness of the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Transport Standards) among people with disability.

Awareness of the Transport Standards is important so people with disability are aware of their rights and what to expect when accessing public transport in Australia.
