The Access Consultants Conference 2025, held on October 13–14 at Melbourne Town Hall, brought together industry professionals, innovators, and advocates united by one goal, which is to create more inclusive and accessible spaces for everyone. This year’s theme, “Universal Design – Inclusive Futures,” highlighted the importance of thoughtful design in shaping environments that empower people of all abilities.
CHS Healthcare was proud to be a participating partner in this successful event. The team engaged with numerous Access Consultants and project managers, sharing how CHS Healthcare’s range of accessibility and patient handling solutions contribute to more inclusive and empowering spaces.
Building Meaningful Connections
Throughout the two-day event, the CHS Healthcare booth became a hub for conversations about the future of inclusive design. The team connected with a diverse group of Access Consultants, architects, and designers to discuss how innovative solutions, such as Ceiling Hoists, Privacy Screens, and Change Tables, are helping transform Community Spaces and Changing Places facilities into more accessible environments.
