About this app

You've heard "yes, we're accessible" and arrived to find a step at the door, a bathroom you can't turn around in, or parking that's somehow a block away. You only find out once you're already there.

Knia is the accessibility map built around what you actually need. See the real access details for places near you before you go, so a day out stops being a gamble.

Access means something different for everyone. You might need step-free entry, an accessible toilet, parking close enough to actually use, somewhere to sit and rest along the way, or a quiet space away from the noise. Knia Maps shows these details in the words of people who needed to know them too, so you can find places that genuinely work for you.

What you can do with Knia Maps:
• Explore an accessibility map of places and hazards near you, with the details people have shared: step-free access and ramps, doorways, accessible toilets, accessible and disabled parking, seating, lighting and noise levels.
• Add a place or flag a hazard, from a blocked footpath to an out-of-order lift or an unexpected step, so the next person is warned.
• Add photos, so people can read a place for themselves instead of taking a venue's word for it.
• Comment to ask questions, share what you found, or let others know when something has changed.

Knia Maps is owned by the community that uses it, not supplied by venues. No business can quietly delete a review that flagged a step, and the more people add, the more reliable the map becomes for everyone.

Knia Maps is for anyone who has to plan around access. Whether you use a wheelchair or mobility aid, live with chronic pain, fatigue or chronic illness, are autistic or have sensory needs, are deaf or hard of hearing, have low vision, or you're a carer planning ahead, Knia Maps helps you go somewhere new and know what to expect.
