Cultural tourism has one of the largest draws globally, but most cultural institutions are still not understanding equitable access to encourage inclusive cultural tourism and widen participation.

This timely project will benefit all Australians by co-designing greater access to our cultural heritage for all. Read moreRead less

This project aims to produce new knowledge to foster inclusion of people with disabilities in local community planning practice in regional areas. Exclusion of people with disabilities in local communities persists despite the national disability reform agenda.
