The Australian Human Rights Commission logo.
The Australian Human Rights Commission has recently updated the Guideline on the Application of the Premises Standards which was first issued with the relevant standard in March 2011.

The update is not intended as a review of the actual Premises Standards but an attempt to draw on the experience gained over the first 18 months of implementation.

It is currently in Draft form and will be finalised in the near future. Visit http://humanrights.gov.au/disability_rights/buildings/access_to_premises_2012draft.html to download the document.

On 21 November 2012, George Xinos of Functional Access Solutions, and Wendy Chandler of Roberts Occupational Therapy, facilitated a three day workshop on the topic of Home Modifications for Yooralla's Assistive Technology Learning.

The workshop content included segments on legislation, the validity of the evidence base for practice, common pitfalls, specialty areas of practice, manual handling and its context in home modifications, as well as producing suitable documentation and its importance in the process.

The workshop combined both theoretical and practical activities with a number of guest presenters also providing invaluable insights in applied areas of focus.
