Accessibility

WWCWA

Working Women’s Centre WA (WWCWA) is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive website experience for all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our Accessibility Standards

To enhance usability for all, our website follows these minimum standards:

  • Colour contrast meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines for readability.
  • Text size, font weight, and spacing are designed to ensure clarity and legibility.
  • Alternative text (alt text) is provided for all meaningful images.
  • Page titles, headings, and meta descriptions are descriptive to improve navigation and clarity.
  • Navigation is compatible with keyboard and screen readers, including logical menu structures and visible focus indicators.

We recognise that accessibility is an ongoing process. If you encounter any accessibility issues or require content in an alternative format, please contact us so we can assist you.

Responsive Design

Our website adapts seamlessly across devices, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.

Keyboard Navigation

Users can browse our website using only a keyboard:

  • Press Tab to move between links, buttons, and form fields.
  • Use Shift + Tab to move backwards.
  • Press Enter to activate links or buttons.

Zoom & Text Resizing

For larger text, use your browser’s zoom function:

  • Windows: Ctrl + (plus) to zoom in, Ctrl – (minus) to zoom out.
  • Mac: Cmd + (plus) to zoom in, Cmd – (minus) to zoom out.

High Contrast Mode

For improved visibility, you can enable high contrast mode on your device:

  • Windows: Press Alt + Left Shift + Print Screen, then select YES.
  • Mac: Enable “Invert Colours” via System Preferences > Accessibility > Display.

Links & Hyperlinks

  • Links are descriptive and meaningful to support readability and navigation.
  • Links open in the same window, except for documents (e.g., PDFs), which open in a new tab for convenience.

Images & Graphics

  • All meaningful images have alternative text (alt text) for screen readers.
  • Decorative images are marked so that assistive technologies ignore them.

Documents & Downloads

We aim to provide documents in accessible formats, such as HTML or Microsoft Word. While most PDFs are accessible, some older files may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

If you need a document in an alternative format, please contact us and we will provide assistance.

To view documents:

  • PDFs: Use Adobe Reader.
  • Microsoft Word files: Use Word Office Online or OpenOffice.
