Our commitment to accessibility
We recognise that accessibility looks different for different people. As a platform focused on accessible and inclusive tourism, we take website accessibility seriously and are committed to ongoing improvements to support users who may rely on assistive technologies or alternative ways of accessing information.
Accessibility standards and guidelines
We aim to make our website as accessible as reasonably possible and work towards alignment with the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, where practical.
What we are doing to improve accessibility
We take a range of steps to support accessibility, including:
- Using clear headings and logical page structure to help with screen reader navigation
- Designing pages to be readable and consistent across devices
- Providing text alternatives (alt text) for images where appropriate
- Supporting keyboard navigation where possible
- Using accessible forms and clear labels where possible
- Reviewing and improving content over time as the website grows
www.theaccessjourney.com.au uses the OneTap accessibility toolbar, which provides:
- Text size and contrast adjustments
- Link and text highlighting
- Full keyboard navigation
- Keyboard shortcut: Alt + . (Windows) or ⌘ + . (Mac)
The OneTap accessibility toolbar can be enabled by clicking on the icon that appear in the top righthand corner of the page.

While we aim to choose reputable providers, we do not have full control over the accessibility of third-party platforms or embedded content. In some cases, these elements may not meet the same accessibility standards as the rest of the website.
