Accessibility

The ABC is committed to enabling all of our audience to benefit from our content and services on ABC Online, whatever their level of abilities. We endeavour to comply with W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

Information for users with disabilities

Whether you have a minor vision impairment or significant motor impairment, here are some resources you might find helpful:

The BBC's Accessibility Help page provides comprehensive assistance with changing browser, computer, keyboard and mouse settings to make the web more accessible. There is information available for Windows, Mac and Linux users.

Media Access Australia provides information and service keeping people up-to-date with the world of accessible media. Their New Media section covers a wide range advice on how people with disabilities can use computers and the Internet.

ABC Mobile content

For a simpler, faster experience of ABC content, try visiting ABC mobile using your desktop browser. If you're experiencing access problems due to low bandwidth or slow connection speeds these ‘lightweight' sites could provide an alternative to the desktop version of ABC sites.

Help us make ABC Online more accessible!

While our aim is to reach full compliance across all of our websites we realise that there are ABC sites that have not yet achieved this. Please let us know if you are experiencing issues accessing any of our content.
