Communication Access and its role within Universal Access Design
About the Speaker
Bruce Bromley
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)

Making Neurodiversity Inclusion Simple
Chris is the Founder of Neuro Advantage – an inclusion training & coaching practice supporting organisations to learn how to be inclusive of Neurodivergent job seekers and employees and helping neurodivergent employees thrive at work.
As a parent of an autistic child and with a career of more than 20 years across multiple commercial disciplines, Chris understands the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals along with the organisational need for innovation and productivity.
Neuro Advantage’s mission is to break down the barriers of uncertainty and confusion for employers when it comes to neurodiversity inclusion. By making the complexity of neurodiversity more relatable and presenting ideas through personal stories and experiences, Chris’s goal is to help more people feel confident to support neurodivergent colleagues.
Through increased inclusion, organisations and teams stand to gain from the advantages that neurodiversity inclusion brings.
