Common questions
What's the difference between full membership and modules only?+
Full membership is the complete Adapting Aotearoa commitment — it includes all training modules plus the Access Guide process, hands-on advisory, formal appraisal, MakingTrax endorsement, and ongoing marketing support. Modules only gives you access to the training content without the full pathway.
Can I upgrade from modules only to full membership?+
Yes — you can start with modules and upgrade to full membership at any time. Get in touch and we'll make the transition seamless.
How long does the full membership process take?+
The timeline depends on your business and team. Most operators complete training and have their Access Guide ready for appraisal within a few months. We work at a pace that suits you.
Is there support included in full membership?+
Yes. Full members have access to hands-on advisory support throughout the Access Guide process, specialist expert input, and ongoing annual review. You're not doing this alone — we work alongside you.
What sectors is this suitable for?+
Adapting Aotearoa is for any tourism operator — adventure, accommodation, hospitality, transport, cultural, and scenic experiences. Sector-specific Access Guide templates are available for each.
Do I need existing accessibility infrastructure?+
No. Adapting Aotearoa is not about compliance or minimum standards — it's about honest communication and genuine inclusion. You don't need full physical access to join. What matters is being clear about what you offer and committing to doing it properly.
