“Enhancing accessibility and<br />
inclusion benefits all patrons<br />
as it contributes to a more<br />
vibrant venue experience.”<br />
In particular the Industry Liaison Officer will collaborate<br />
with venues to identify what support they would like<br />
to enhance access and inclusion. This assistance will<br />
be tailored to each participating venue with activities<br />
including venue assessments and recommendations<br />
for inclusive adjustments, assisting venues with<br />
events targeting the autistic community, expanding<br />
business opportunities through the establishment of<br />
autism-inclusive venues and supporting the success of<br />
autistic individuals in the workforce through reasonable<br />
adjustments and workplace mentoring.<br />
Small changes can lead to significant improvements<br />
in accessibility and inclusion, without substantial time<br />
or financial investment. Enhancing accessibility and<br />
inclusion benefits all patrons as it contributes to a more<br />
vibrant venue experience. Embracing inclusivity has the<br />
potential to open your venue to a community of over<br />
205,000 autistic individuals, along with their families<br />
and friends, and supports the success of autistic<br />
individuals in the workforce.<br />
So watch this space over the coming weeks as we<br />
work with Autism <strong>SA</strong> and a pilot venue to ‘champion’<br />
this wonderful project. We cannot wait to showcase<br />
the manageable nature of achieving positive change<br />
and impactful outcomes along our journey towards<br />
increasingly accessible and inclusive venues for patrons<br />
across the state.<br />
