The City of Ballarat initiative will collate the feedback from people who are deaf or hard of hearing through a series of questions on the accessibility of its facilities.
These include looking at venue staff understanding of deafness and hearing loss, if the staff change their method of communication if needed, if all the venues’ services can be fully accessed and if assistive technology is used.
The results may also be included in the City of Ballarat’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan, which aims to remove participation barriers for people with a disability and provides equal access to opportunities.
The survey can be found at mysay.vic.gov.au.
