Spectator racism A key project under the RISWM initiative was the development of a set of guidelines for responding to incidents of spectator racism at Australian sporting matches. Completed in this reporting period, the project facilitated a workshop, bringing together more than 20 representatives from Australian sporting codes and anti-racism experts. Using this experience and evidence, the campaign team drafted a set of guidelines, and a list of resources to be developed to support their implementation. Scheduled to launch in the next reporting period, the Spectator Racism Guidelines provide practical steps to support sporting codes, clubs, and venues to respond to incidents of spectator racism, and reduce the occurrence of these incidents in the future. In the coming year, these guidelines and accompanying resources will be endorsed by Australian sporting codes and made publicly available.

Guidelines Increasing transport accessibility Transport accessibility is a key factor in ensuring people with disability can live independently. Commissioner Gauntlett is committed to improving the accessibility of transport options for people with disability. He participates in a number of forums on this issue and is a member of the National Accessible Transport Steering Committee, which is overseeing the process of modernising the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Cth) (Transport Standards). In this reporting period, the Commissioner led the development of the Guidelines: Equivalent Access under the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport 2002 (Cth) (Equivalent Access Guidelines), in partnership with the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications. The Equivalent Access Guidelines were published in July 2020 and provide clarification on how equivalent access solutions are used to comply with the requirements of the Transport Standards and the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth). The Equivalent Access Guidelines address the need for both public transport operators and users to understand equivalent access provisions whereby equipment or facilities may be varied from the requirements provided that an equivalent standard of amenity, availability, comfort, convenience, dignity, cost, and safety is maintained. Equivalent access provisions allow transport providers the flexibility to develop innovative solutions and consider how public transport can meet the needs of people with disability. These guidelines were developed following consultation with key stakeholders, including people with disability, operators and providers of public transport, and state and federal government public transport departments. 56 Australian Human Rights Commission Annual Report 2020–2021
