UNSW Corporate Website Accessibility

The aim of an accessible website is to be understood by everyone regardless of any disability they may have, or the browser or assistive technology they may be using. The goal is to provide, as far as possible, the same experience to everyone.

The UNSW corporate web site has been developed using benchmark guidelines based on those produced by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), accepted worldwide as the standard. The aim is to be fully compliant with Priority Levels One, Two and where appropriate, Level Three of the W3C Guidelines. Additionally, all documents in Adobe PDF format are, wherever possible in an accessible format provided that the user has installed Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5.00 or above and a PDF compatible screen reader. The site has been tested by using automated checking mechanisms such as Bobby and Wave, and manual checks by reviewers including users with disabilities. However, if you encounter any problems accessing any part of the site, please contact the webmaster and let us know. We cannot, though, be responsible for sites that are not part of the UNSW corporate website.
