Website Accessibility Statement

Accessibility and useability have been key elements in the formation of the SGSCC website. We are committed to providing a website and online information that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of location, technology or ability.

To demonstrate our commitment, we sought expert, independent accessibility testing by the Digital Accessibility Services [external site] team at Media Access Australia, who attest that the website complies with Level A and Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 [External site], an international benchmark developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Rigorous compliance testing was conducted in two rounds and in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) [external site].
