Accessibility Statement

This website has been designed to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 ‘AA’ level. Compliance with this standard has been achieved through practical implementation during development and user testing.

All new content is compliant and this website has regularly scheduled accessibility checks to ensure continued WCAG 2.0 compliance.

However, please note that a large amount of content has been transferred over from our previous website which operated on a different system. While this content has undergone checks, due to its size and our limited resources as a not-for-profit organisation, some content may not be 100% compliant.

Ensuring access for all users is important to Media Access Australia, so please contact us if you have any difficulties using this site, to give us feedback or for any further information.
