More information
What is an Access Key?
An Access Key is a document that describes a space and how to access it. They may be used for events to describe features of the venue. In this instance, we have written an Access Key for our headspace centre in Hawthorn. We hope this Access Key helps everyone feel confident to access our centre. We also hope that by having an Access Key, it signifies we take inclusion seriously and encourage people to get in touch about any access concerns.
Access Keys are particularly helpful for people with Autism because it helps alleviate the anxiety associated with going somewhere new. They are useful for people who use wheelchairs because it describes the best way to get to and move around a space.
Access Keys acknowledge that not all spaces are 100% accessible. By sharing this information about what is and what isn’t accessible, young people with a disability have more agency and control over if and how they participate.
If you have any questions at all, or if there are other ways we can improve accessibility for you, please get in touch. By either calling us on (03) 9006 6500 or emailing enquiries@headspacehawthorn.org.au
Easy Read version
We also have Access Keys available in Easy Read format.
Easy Read format uses plain language, short sentences and tells people exactly what they need to know. This version of our Access Key is in large, spaces print without colour.
Easy Read documents may be helpful for people who are not familiar with English, have low literacy or dyslexia. Easy Read versions are also helpful for people with low vision who may use online document reading programs.
If you have any questions or feedback about your access requirements, please get in touch:
Phone (03) 9006 6500
