Accessibility

It is important to us that our information is accessible to everyone.

Seymour Health is committed to making its website www.seymourhealth.org.au accessible.

We are committed to providing information and services in a non-discriminatory and accessible way. This is a requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at AA level. This is the web standard endorsed by the Australian Government. It ensures information and services are accessible to everyone.

We are in the process of implementing W3C’s WCAG 2.0 at AA level. As part of this transition we will be replacing PDF documents with more accessible formats and transitioning to accessible third-party platforms, where possible.

Most documents on our website are currently available in PDF format in a non-accessible format; however the document may be magnified for ease of reading.

We will continue to explore ways to improve accessibility of our website and documents.
