Bruce has over 32 years of experience in disability access, architectural design, documentation & project management

He formed Equal Access Pty Ltd in 2006 in response to growing recognition, that whilst businesses were being urged to respond to their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act, the majority of assistance available was focused almost entirely upon the needs of the individual with a disability without an understanding of the impacts and practicalities for building owners, managers and consultants.

Bruce also specialises in evacuation procedures and policy for people with a disability and is a member of the Standards Australia development committee FP-017 Emergency Management Planning – Facilities (AS3745)
