So why is this important? Just under one in five Australians (18.5%) have a disability (ABS, 2011) A further 21% report a long-term health condition (ABS, 2011) And don’t forget, we all age as well…

Why accessibility? There’s compliance issues and legal considerations… Making a resource more accessible, makes it more accessible to everyone. An accessible mindset and approach is not as hard as you might think.
