Australian Museum Accessibility and Inclusion Action Plan
The Australian Museum champions the importance of accessibility and inclusion by ensuring that the exploration of nature and culture is accessible to all.
Our commitment
Australian Museum’s Accessibility and Inclusion Action Plan is committed to accessibility and inclusion ensuring that we ignite wonder, inspire debate and drive change for everyone who visits and interacts with the our work.
Access is crucial to the Australian Museum (AM) and will be championed in front and back-of-house areas, and at all levels of management. The AM continues to embed the principles of social inclusion and equity throughout its exhibitions, programs, services and venues.
The Australian Museum is committed to best practice, and will strive to become a leader in the Australian and international arts communities by implementing the following actions:
- Access solutions will adhere to the principles of social equity, inclusion and dignity.
- Access requirements will be embedded in the planning stage of new initiatives.
- Initiatives will comply with relevant disability and access standards, and aim to go beyond compliance.
- Consultation with individuals with disability will be undertaken for all future key initiatives.
- Access solutions will be addressed while respecting the AM’s heritage obligations.
