Be. Accessible is a social change movement and a holistic framework for accessibility with a mission to create a truly accessible country for us all.Be. Accessible is managed by the Be. Institute, a social enterprise that worksacross all sectors and communities throughout New Zealand. The belief is that everyperson and business, no matter how big or small, has their part to play in the creation of accessibility.

Access Citizens make up at least 20% of our population which means there's an increasing opportunity for businesses who are savvy about accessibility - particularly those communicating their existing access features or their future aspirations for becoming accessible.

Be. Accessible have recently launched Be. Welcome Lite, a new opportunity to help small businesses start their journey towards becoming accessible and have a free sign up offer until the end of March. Businesses can complete a self-assessment which gives them the knowledge about the accessible features of the business, tips on accessibility, a listing in the directory of accessible businesses and more.We encourage all HOTCity businesses to take up this opportunity – it’s got to be good for business. We are proud to support the Be. Team, and is a member of the Be.Accessible network. We have been rated a rated a Silver Organisation - defined as having good levels of accessibility in a number of areas.
