Our app provides specific accessible information to offer more confidence and choice for people with a disability and their families.

A world-first platform!

New Accessibility Features

We have designed our app to be simple and practical to use.

We believe that everyone should be able to catch up with a friend for a coffee or a beer without having to worry if a venue is accessible or not.

The goal of What’s Doing is to help people have enjoyable experiences, to socialize and make new friends. No matter what a person’s abilities or disabilities are.

About the founder and the team.

As a support worker, I created this app in response to the challenges and negative experiences that I have witnessed firsthand among my friends living with disability. Through numerous conversations within the disability community, it became clear that there is a significant gap in the market—a need for a platform that provides comprehensive, reliable information tailored to the needs of people with disability and their families.

Our team is composed of individuals who have lived experience with disability, as well as professionals who work as support workers. This firsthand knowledge gives us a deep understanding of the difficulties in locating accessible venues, events and activities. In addition to relying on our internal team’s lived experience, we are committed to holding regular community engagement sessions. These sessions will allow us to meet directly with people with disability, gathering insights and feedback on areas that need improvement. We believe it is critical to address real issues faced by the disability community rather than making assumptions about their needs.
