WE SPECIALISE IN ACCESSIBILITY

We create documents that are easy to read and websites that are easy to use

 * What is accessibility?
 * What is Easy Read?
 * Australian literacy levels

You know accessibility is something you should be doing, but you may not be so
sure why, or how, to go about it.

Maybe you’re not sure if it’s worth the investment of time or resources.

Read more about accessibility

Easy Read is sometimes called Easy English or simple English.

The Easy Read format presents information in a way that is very easy to
understand. In its simplest form, it uses images to support text, large font
sizes and plenty of white space. Easy Read is currently used extensively for
audiences with disability. However, it is also becoming more widely used for
audiences with low literacy levels or where English is an additional language.

Read more about Easy Read

Literacy is the ability to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written
texts to take part in society, reach goals, and develop knowledge and potential.

Did you know that, in Australia today, over 40% of adults have a literacy level
below what is considered enough to get by in everyday life?

HOUSE HUNTING WITH A DISABILITY

7 March 2023



Our Inclusion Advisor, David, recently came up against some barriers when
looking for a new home to rent. As a person who is totally blind and uses a
screen reader daily, David quickly realised that house hunting can be fun, but
it can also be inaccessible to people with disability.

“All Australians deserve a fair and equal chance of finding a rental property to
live in.”

THE MOST ACCESSIBLE WAY TO PUBLISH INFORMATION ONLINE: A GUIDE TO HTML

7 March 2023



Do you publish information intended for a general audience and want your
information to be accessible to everyone? Accessibility best practice is moving
away from using Portable Document Formats (PDF) in favour of publishing
information straight to a webpage – also known as Hypertext Markup Language
(HTML).

We explain the usability issues of PDFs, what HTML is and the benefits of using
it.

WHAT ARE ALT TAGS AND HOW DO I USE THEM?

7 February 2023

The term ‘alt tag’ is often thrown about when referring to accessibility, but

tag is, why we need it and how to write them.
