Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to inspect transport premises in order to assess their accessibility for people with disabilities. The assessment process involves interpreting and implementing the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), DDA Premises Standards, DDA Transport Standards, and building legislation. It involves communicating with transport providers and operators regarding access compliance requirements.The unit supports access audits of passenger use areas of buildings classified by the Building Code of Australia (BCA) as Class 9b Used for Public Transport conducted for the purposes of upgrading existing transport premises or for providing recommendations on new transport facilities. It applies to access consultants working alone or as a member of a team to complete transport premises access audits on behalf of clients, who may be architects, owners and managers; building designers and builders; building certifiers and surveyors; transport service providers; transport service operators; developers; and state and territory transport authorities.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

PPE required for the transport premises access audit specified in the performance evidence

computer and software to access, retrieve, store and distribute audit-specific documentation

specifications:

Australian standards relating to transport premises accessibility, including AS 1428 Design for access and mobility

Building Code of Australia

building plans

DDA

DDA Premises Standards
