The unit includes interpreting and evaluating the Australian common law system and various sources of law applicable to the accessibility of large-scale building developments and analysing and applying professional codes of practice for the assessment and inspection of buildings.

This unit is for individuals who are self-directed and have substantial depth of knowledge and skills to make independent judgements in the provision of access consulting services.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
