“Considering Bass Coast is a key Australian tourist destination, it is important that we are welcoming and accessible to all, and this acc-reditation shows how committed we are to do that,” Cr Rankine said.
The Visitor Information Centres are now able to display the Comm-unication Access Symbol, which helps identify places that are trained in communicating with people who can’t speak or are difficult to understand.
