Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports the access consulting service of serving on a BCA Access Panel. It involves the application of analysis, planning and evaluation to complex technical issues.
This unit specifies the competency required to apply performance-based codes, and risk assessment and risk management principles to accessibility features of buildings. It covers the comparison of proposed alternative solutions to the prescriptive Deemed-to Satisfy (DTS) requirements of the building legislation for the accessibility of building developments. It includes the evaluation of existing common law decisions for assessing risks associated with building development.
The assessment results in the preparation of a report describing the suitability of the proposed Alternative Building Solution to the provision of access and its usability by people with disabilities.
The unit requires the ability to communicate with members of the building industry on the interpretation and implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), the DDA Premises Standard and the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
The access consultant may either work alone or as a member of a team.
This unit is based on BCGSV6009A Implement performance based codes and risk management principles for buildings up to 3 storeys.
