Access iQ™ is geared towards meeting the needs of those making accessible websites for government under the National Transition Strategy.

The Australian government has been working hard over the past two years to ensure that all Federal and most state government websites meet the minimal Level 'A' requirement of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 by the end of this year.

The Professional Certificate in Web Accessibility is a joint venture between Media Access Australia and the University of South Australia, and seeks to help educate web professionals in industry and government on how to include people with disabilities in their web design and development.
