Accessibility Statement

Accessible Web Design

This site has been developed to ensure its content is available to the widest possible audience, including readers using assistive technology or accessibility features. By adhering to guidelines for accessible web design, we acknowledge the diversity of communication methods, available technologies and abilities of web-users in the community. The eGovernment Resource Centre strives to maintain conformance to W3C's "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines", available at http://web3.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/.

Content pages

The site recently implemented a new design. Some accessibility issues have been identified and are currently being rectified.

Generally, the content of the eGov website conforms to Level A of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 except for some areas:
a) Text transcripts of audio tracks from video files are currently not available.
b) Many text equivalents are not provided for PDF files.

Although progress has been made in making information within PDF files more accessible, a W3C compliant version is still needed for universal accessibility. An HTML summary of the files will be added over time where the PDF files do not fall under the intellectual property of other departments and organisations. Where this is the case, the responsibility of providing accessible versions of the PDF files falls to the provider of the file and links to accessible versions is included where available. Please see section below for options on converting PDF files to more accessible formats and visit the Adobe website for more information on Acrobat accessibility.
