The Disability Dialogue is led by people with disability. We want everyone to be able to use our website and take part in our events.
If something on our website does not work for you, please tell us. Email [email protected].
Our goal
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. These are the international guidelines for making websites accessible.
What we have done
Our website:
- works with a keyboard, and shows a clear yellow outline on the item you are on
- has a "Skip to content" link, so you can go straight past the menu
- works with screen readers, with headings and labels that explain each part of the page
- has text descriptions for images, and captions for images in our articles
- uses colours with strong contrast, so text is easier to read
- works on phones and tablets, and when you zoom in
- turns off animation if your device is set to reduce motion.
We also offer:
- Easy Read versions of some pages and event information
- Auslan interpreting and live captions at most of our events, and at any event when you ask for them
- recordings of past events, so you can watch them in your own time.
How we check
We tested our main pages with automated accessibility tools in September 2026. They found no problems against WCAG 2.2 level AA.
Automated tools cannot find every problem. Next, we will test the website with screen reader users and other people with disability, and fix what they find.
Things we know need work
- Older documents. Some older Word and PDF files may not be fully accessible. Ask us if you need a different format.
- Podcast transcripts. Not all podcast episodes have a written transcript yet. If you need one, email us.
- Other websites we use. We use other services for event bookings (Humanitix), videos (YouTube) and our online community (Circle). We cannot control how accessible these are. If one of them does not work for you, contact us and we will help another way.
Asking for a different format
You can ask us for information in another format, such as Easy Read, large print or a Word document. You can also ask for support to take part in an event.
Email [email protected].
Telling us about a problem
If you find something that is hard to use, please tell us:
- what page you were on
- what the problem was
- what device or technology you were using, if you know.
We will reply as soon as we can and tell you what we will do to fix it.
If you are not happy with our response, you can contact the Australian Human Rights Commission.
