Judy O’Connor

Creating Access Keys and starting Access Ability Australia was motivated by my desire to make a positive impact in the community, especially as a parent of a child with a disability.

I wanted to build something I could take pride in while ensuring that every person, regardless of their abilities, feels welcomed, valued, and cared for.

Access Ability Australia works to create a more inclusive environment by inviting organisations to showcase their offerings and provide better visitor information to people of all abilities through the use of Access Keys.

My role involves active community engagement, business support to increase disability awareness and inclusion, overseeing the development and implementation of a Quality Management System, managing projects, strong advocacy support and serving as the chief liaison officer with key stakeholders. By respecting our differences, Access Ability Australia aims to build a better and more inclusive community.
