The people who enjoy the greatest benefits from automatic doors are those who experience the most problems using manual swing doors - for example people with walking difficulties, people in wheelchairs, etc. In addition, people carrying packages, pushing trolleys, prams or pushchairs and looking after small children may find manual swing doors an obstacle. Automatic doors are the optimal solution for disabled access.

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is changing to bring it into line with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). Under the DDA, failure to provide equal access is unlawful, unless to do so would impose an "unjustifiable hardship" on the owner. To find out more about recent changes to the BCA regarding disabled access, several links to related web sites are provided on our Links page.
