Celebrating 20 Editions in Spring 2020
As we look forward to celebrating our 20th edition of Access Insight in the Spring of 2020 I have taken the opportunity to look back over the preceding editions, at the wide variety of topics we have covered and the breadth of interest and experience of our access consultants and the people interested in and supporting the advancement of people with disability in our community.
Topics have included those summarised below. I urge you to look back over the past editions of our Access Insight magazine and I can assure you, a gem of information, inspiration or perspective will be found.
