So why is this important?

•Just under one in five Australians (18.5%) have a disability (ABS, 2011)

•A further 21% report a long-term health condition (ABS, 2011)

•And don’t forget, we all age as well…

Why accessibility?

•There’s compliance issues and legal considerations…

•Making a resource more accessible, makes it more accessible to everyone.

•An accessible mindset and approach is not as hard as you might think.
