Occupation Certificate NSW: final access inspection before the OC

Sydney Access Consultants · Updated November 2026

Is your Occupation Certificate waiting on access sign-off?

1. In NSW the principal certifier issues the OC, not the access consultant.
2. Certifiers often want an accredited access consultant's final inspection and compliance statement first.
3. Common late defects: TGSI and nosing contrast, grab rails with no backing, wrong door hardware, missing braille signs, ramps steeper than drawn.
4. Avoid a second visit: send the access report and conditions first, check backing before linings, book the final once signage and line marking are done.
