我们在澳洲首创一项名为“隐藏的残疾”的活动。
这个项目的目的是为布里斯班机场、边防、航空公司人员和有残疾的旅客提供一种共同交流工具。
通过佩戴彩色的无障碍挂件，旅客们可以同工作人员单独沟通他们的特殊需求。
该项目源自一项针对残障人士的专题研究。研究表明，许多残障人士的特殊需求是不可见的，所以员工无法判断如何提供帮助和正确的服务。
客户服务人员将通过这些彩色的专用挂件识别出需要个性化服务的旅客以提高服务质量。
Airport staff
Brisbane Airport staff have been trained to recognise the sunflower lanyard and to provide you with any help you may need at that stage of your journey through the airport. If you are feeling overwhelmed, please approach a staff member for help and we can slow down the process, keep things quiet, offer assurance and be as accommodating as possible.
The lanyard does not provide a personal staff escort through the airport process. If you require this level of assistance or wheelchair assistance, your airline is best placed to help you. If you haven't already done so, be sure to contact your airline and make them aware of any assistance requirements that you may have.
Use the assistance lane at security screening
The lanyard does not give you fast track access through Security or Passport Control. When entering the security area please use the assistance lane and you will be pointed to the shortest available lane. Where possible, you might be shown to the front of the queue – although we cannot guarantee this.
