Accessibility Statement

Accessibility is central to AUS Foundation’s mission. We want everyone, including people with disabilities, to be able to use this website, find information, and get in touch with us.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. These international guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities.

This website includes:

• full keyboard navigation, with a “Skip to main content” link and clearly visible focus indicators;
• text and background colours checked to meet WCAG contrast requirements;
• text alternatives (alt text) for meaningful images;
• a clear heading structure and labelled regions for screen-reader navigation;
• form fields with visible labels, and error messages that are announced to assistive technology;
• reduced animation when your device is set to reduce motion;
• layouts that adapt to phones, tablets, and zoomed text without horizontal scrolling;
• a mobile menu and dialogs that can be closed with the Escape key and keep keyboard focus in place.

We test this website with automated accessibility checks (axe-core) against WCAG 2.2 AA, manual keyboard testing, and checks at phone, tablet, and desktop sizes.

We are not aware of any accessibility barriers on this website at the moment. Automated tests cannot catch every issue, so if something does not work for you, please let us know.

If you have difficulty using any part of this website, or you would like information in a different format, please contact us. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the format or help you need. We will do our best to help.
