In this article, our CEO & Co-founder, Anna Wright, challenges the belief that disability is "wrong" or needs fixing. They advocate for recognising individuals with disabilities for their capabilities and unique experiences, promoting a more inclusive society. Through the "social model of disability," our CEO emphasises that societal barriers, not the condition itself, create disability. Join us in changing cultural norms and embracing diversity in all its forms.

Shopping centres are increasingly becoming larger and more complex. Information kiosks and physical signage give shoppers a general idea of location, but they lack the detail of being able to guide consumers every step of the way to the store.

BindiMaps is partnering with Ability Fest, Australia’s completely inclusive music festival, to provide digital navigation during the event, making the festival even more accessible for people with a disability.

One thing that makes BindiMaps so powerful for our users with vision impairment is the years we have spent developing our Navigation Language Framework (NLF)- the rules and systems we use for issuing spoken directions to users.
