Access and Inclusion Index

What is the Access and Inclusion Index?

The Access and Inclusion Index (the Index) gives organisations insights into their strengths and opportunities on their journey to be accessible and inclusive of people with disability.
The easy-to-use, whole of organisation tool, provides a roadmap for year-on-year progress and supports key business functions to achieve greater disability confidence and maturity.
Participation in the Index is confidential. We do our benchmarking in the strictest confidence, and we only compare your results against anonymised data. So, while you won’t know other organisations’ scores, you can see where you rank by comparison.
