NCC (National Construction Code) 2022 Amendment 2 has been published to align the NCC with recent changes to the Disability (Access to Premises –Buildings) Standards 2010 (Premises Standards).
The Premises Standards was amended on 23 November 2024 and includes reference to the 2021edition of ‘AS 1428.1 Design for access and mobility’. The amendment to the Premises Standards has taken effect as of 29 July 2025.
The purpose of the Premises Standards is to ensure people with disability have equal access to public buildings. The Premises Standards contains the Access Code for Buildings, which is based on the NCC access for people with a disability provisions. Building practitioners, including certifiers and developers, must ensure that buildings comply with the Access Code and with the NCC. The NCC has been aligned with the changes to the Access Code.
