Why accessibility is important

It is important to us that our information is accessible to everyone.

We are committed to providing information and services in a non-discriminatory and accessible way. This is a requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

We also aim to meet the Australian Government’s web accessibility requirements. This includes meeting the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA.

Digital Access at Vision Australia has assessed our site as satisfying all Level A and Level AA success criteria of WCAG 2.1. Download our Statement of accessibility.

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader.
