Winchelsea Community House
Accessibility
It matters to us
We want our website to be usable by all our stakeholders. Somewhere around 20% (or 1 person in every 5) in Australia has a disability of some sort (ABS). So as an inclusive organisation, our website aims to cater for the wide range of abilities and needs of our visitors.
It is not an easy objective – compromises are necessary due to conflicting requirements between disabilities and the range of solutions available to help access websites.
However, we are working hard to achieve the most accessible website for the most people.
