Accessibility review — Australia

Comprehensive WCAG-based audits, assistive technology testing, and practical remediation guidance tailored for Australian organisations under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

We combine automated scanning, manual review, keyboard & screen reader testing, and real-user validation to deliver prioritised, actionable findings.

What we review

Keyboard navigation check

Keyboard & focus

Tab order, focus visible, skip links, and keyboard operability across interactive components.

Screen reader test

Screen reader

Semantic markup, ARIA use, labels and readable content flow for NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver.

Contrast and visual design

Visual & contrast

Color contrast, scalable type, and responsive layouts for low-vision users and magnification.

Methodology

  1. Automated scans to pinpoint likely issues and generate a baseline.
  2. Manual verification and contextual review against WCAG 2.1/2.2 criteria.
  3. Assistive tech tests (screen readers, keyboard-only, switch devices).
  4. Real-user validation with people with lived accessibility needs.
  5. Prioritised remediation backlog and design recommendations.

Audit checklist (accordion)

Includes alt text quality, non-text content, captions for video, and colour contrast scoring with examples and remediation guidance for each failure.

Checks for keyboard-only access, visible focus indicators, skip links, and avoidance of time-limited interactions without alternatives.

Reviews form labels, error messaging, clear instructions, appropriate ARIA roles and valid semantic structure for assistive compatibility.

Sample findings

A typical medium-site audit uncovers a mix of low, medium and high priority issues. Below are anonymised examples and remediation notes.

Example: poor heading structure
Issue: Missing heading order — Fix: restore semantic headings and landmarks.
Example: insufficient contrast
Issue: Contrast failures on CTA buttons — Fix: update palette and ensure 4.5:1 for normal text.

Deliverables & timeline

  • Executive summary + accessibility score (WCAG mapping).
  • Prioritised issue list with code snippets and design fixes.
  • Remediation roadmap and verification retest.
  • Typical turnaround: Rapid review (5–7 business days), Full audit (2–4 weeks) depending on scope.

Which WCAG level do you target?

We report against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA as standard; bespoke engagements can include AAA checks or specific criteria as requested.
