WEBSITE

ACCESSIBILITY

We are committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice recognition software, or alternative input devices.

Accessibility standard

Our website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These guidelines are internationally recognised and align with obligations under Australia’s Disability Discrimination Act 1992 and, where relevant, accessibility expectations in other jurisdictions.

Features we have implemented

To improve accessibility, our website includes measures such as:

  • Clear, logical page structure with headings and landmarks for screen readers
  • Text alternatives (alt text) for meaningful images and icons
  • Sufficient colour contrast between text and background
  • Keyboard‑navigable menus, forms, and interactive elements
  • Labels and instructions for form fields, including error messages
  • Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels

We continue to test and improve the site with this goal in mind.

Known limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, for example:

  • Some older PDFs or documents may not be fully tagged or structured for screen readers
  • Some embedded third‑party content (e.g., maps, videos) may have limited accessibility controls

We are working to address these limitations over time. Where possible, we will provide accessible alternatives or summaries.

How to report website accessibility barriers

If you experience any barriers when using this website (for example, difficulties navigating with a keyboard, reading content with a screen reader, or accessing forms), please let us know:

In your message, please include:

  • The page URL where you encountered the issue
  • A description of the problem and what you were trying to do
  • The device, browser, and assistive technology (if any) you are using

We will review your feedback and respond within a reasonable timeframe. Where issues are confirmed, we will work to implement fixes or provide alternative access where feasible.

Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and common assistive technologies. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser and assistive tools up to date.
