What we are working on

Despite our best efforts and intentions to ensure accessibility throughout our program spaces, there may be some limitations. We are focused on:

  • Increasing access to the Café at Harry’s Place, through formal parking spaces and pedestrian pathways
  • Ensuring a continuous path of accessible travel from all Harry’s Place precinct entry points
  • Improving wayfinding signage throughout Harry’s Place
  • Additional instructional signage within the Café at Harry’s Place
  • Improving the accessibility of Carpentaria’s website – carpentaria.org.au
  • Additional Easy English documentation
