Our approach to accessibility

Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Australian Government agencies are required to ensure information and services are provided in a non-discriminatory accessible manner.

We have developed this website to meet the Australian Government standard established in respect of this requirement, and ensure content is available to the widest possible audience. These include 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.

Compass.info is currently compliant to Level Double A of the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) standard. In some cases, content is compliant to Level Triple A. WCAG is a technical standard developed under the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

At times, we publish documents and publications received from third parties. These third-party documents may not adhere to the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
