There are a number of ways the Northern Beaches is becoming more accessible and inclusive than ever. Being inclusive is all about adapting the way that products and services are provided to suit the needs of the whole community.
Disability Inclusion Award
The Disability Inclusion Award as part of the Northern Beaches Local Business Awards.
The award recognises businesses on the Northern Beaches who serve the whole community and aim to accommodating the needs of all customers regardless of their ability.
Anyone can nominate a business for the Disability Inclusion Award, including customers, community members, businesses owners and staff.
Winners are announced at the Northern Beaches Local Business Awards Gala Presentation at Dee Why RSL Club.
