Practicing Access
Access begins before a person enters the room. It means planning, budgeting and building flexible ways of working so d/Deaf and disabled artists and arts workers are not left to carry access alone.

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.
We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.
ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.
ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
