About Zero Barriers
The Zero Barriers project provides free business and service support aiming to remove barriers for people with disability when shopping, using services or participating in activities in their local communities. Developed by The Multicultural Network, the project is now supported by Cumberland City Council as well as 4 other councils.
Zero Barriers works with businesses and services to make small changes by:
- Educating businesses and services about accessibility and inclusion barriers encountered by people with disability
- Supporting businesses and services to become more disability friendly
- Recognising and promoting businesses and services that are committed to eliminating barriers for people with disability
