Every Australian should have accessible and equitable healthcare. But people with disability still experience barriers that prevent them from receiving healthcare they deserve.

The Access for All online course helps health providers understand these barriers and learn practical ways to remove them by creating genuinely safer, more inclusive healthcare experiences for everyone.

This course is FREE until 30 June 2026.

Access for All is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

CheckUP and Access for All have released a media release to help raise awareness and improve healthcare accessibility for people with disability. See excerpt and a link to the full media release below:

"Despite the findings of the Disability Royal Commission, Australians with disability are still facing significant barriers when accessing healthcare, with growing concern the healthcare system is still failing to adequately prepare workers to provide proper support.

Doctor, lawyer and disability advocate Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM lives with quadriplegia following a spinal cord injury, and chaired the advisory group for CheckUP’s Access for All disability awareness training course.

Access for All is an online disability awareness course designed to help healthcare providers better understand and support people across a range of healthcare settings. Access for All is eligible for continuing professional development points for 35+ professions.

Dr Palipana said improving disability awareness across the healthcare workforce was critical to creating meaningful long-term change, with initiatives like Access for All helping close the training and awareness gap across the sector."

The Access for All disability awareness training course is FREE until 30 June 2026:
