  • It is the right thing to do
    • Provides the basis for inclusion in our digital society to all people
    • 1 in 5 Australians has a disability
  • It is the smart thing to do
    • Because it reflects your organisational mission, leadership, and values; it is good for ALL users and it is great for public relations.
  • It is the law
    • Equal access is required by law.
