Accessibility Policy

CohesiveTec is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities and disabilities. This Accessibility Policy outlines our commitment to provide an inclusive online environment on cohesivetec.com (and any related digital properties) that meets or exceeds Australian accessibility requirements and international best practices.

This policy applies to all web content, applications, digital services, and related digital communication channels owned or operated by CohesiveTec.

Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) (DDA), organisations must not discriminate against people with a disability in the provision of goods and services — including digital information and services. This includes accessible design and delivery of website content. Centre For Accessibility Australia+1

To meet our obligations and ensure broad usability, CohesiveTec aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines provide internationally recognised success criteria for making web content accessible. Centre For Accessibility Australia+1

We design and develop online content with the four core accessibility principles:

• Perceivable – Information and UI components are presentable in ways users can perceive. Australian Human Rights Commission
• Operable – Users can navigate and interact with content using their preferred tools and inputs. Australian Human Rights Commission
• Understandable – Information and interface operation are clear and consistent. Australian Human Rights Commission
• Robust – Content is compatible with a wide variety of assistive technologies. Australian Human Rights Commission

To support accessibility, we will:

Content and Design

• Structure content using semantic HTML to support screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Provide text alternatives for non-text content (e.g., images, video captions).
• Ensure keyboard navigation and focus indicators are supported throughout the site.
• Use sufficient colour contrast and scalable text for readability.
• Design for responsiveness across devices and orientations.

Documents and Media

• Where practicable, publish documents (e.g., PDFs) in accessible formats or offer alternatives.
• Provide captions and/or transcripts for audio and video content.

Compatibility

• Ensure compatibility with common assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, and alternative input devices.

Procurement

• Consider accessibility in the selection of third-party content, tools, and services integrated into the CohesiveTec digital ecosystem.

We will regularly audit accessibility performance and update our site to improve compliance and user experience. We acknowledge technology and standards evolve over time and commit to continuous improvement.

Despite our efforts, some content may not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This may include legacy materials, third-party embeds, or content out of our direct control. If you experience difficulty accessing any part of this site, please contact us (details below) so we can provide an accessible alternative.
