Industry Leaders in Universal Access and Inclusive Design
Sitwell Consulting is the sister company to Sitwell Technologies, a provider of Mobility and Assistive Aid equipment for persons with physical disabilities. Sitwell Consulting was established in 2015, after having identified that the environment of a person living with physical disability was equally as important as appropriate equipment.
Ultimately we are all responsible for enabling our society.
Nearsightedness has obstructed us for so long.
Insufficient attention has been paid to how our built environments limit us.
Virtually everyone will need to be assisted in their lifetime.
Environments are intersections of our society, the more accessible the healthier the society.
Removal of restrictions through Universal Access and Inclusive Design principles benefits all.
Sitwell Consulting PTY is a company committed to mobilising for change.
At the heart of our business is passion and commitment.
Let us partner with you to aid in the implementation of solutions to open up your world.

It always seems impossible,
until it is done.
“We are all physically disabled at some time in our lives. A child, a person with a broken leg, a parent with a pram, an elderly person, etc, are all disabled in one way or another. Those who remain healthy and able-bodied all their lives are few. As a matter of fact the needs of the disabled coincide with the needs of the majority, and all people are at ease with them. As such, planning for the majority implies planning for people with varying abilities and disabilities.”
