Accessible Tourism Enabler

An initiative of Braille House supported by the Queensland State Government's Accessible Tourism Enabler Grant.

In 2023, Braille House (historically known as Queensland Braille Writing Association) was one of just five recipients of the Queensland Government's Accessible Tourism Enabler Grant, awarded during the Year of Accessible Tourism.

Case Studies

Four Queensland-based tourism operators committed to improving accessibility for vision impaired visitors used our Self-Assessment checklists to assess their facilities and services. Their findings served as a foundation for their next steps.

These case studies not only provided Braille House with valuable feedback to refine the audits before publication but also offer insights for other providers seeking to enhance accessibility for blind or low vision visitors.
