Designing with accessibility in mind is critical to ensuring that our websites can be used by all. When creating and publishing content, we have worked to ensure that:
- Stakeholders are educated so they understand the importance of consistently providing information in accessible formats.
- All content is converted to HTML to improve accessibility, particularly for mobile users.
- Developers create code for websites with key controls activated to improve navigation and support effective functionality of screen readers.
- All systems and data meet web accessibility and Victorian Government guidelines, with text descriptions, colour contrasts, video content supported by captions and transcripts.
- Where possible, external audits are undertaken to capture and address further accessibility improvements.
Example: 20 Minute Neighbourhoods
Alongside infographics, information is also provided in text so that all users experience website content equally.
The image below shows a diagram of the features of an inclusive 20-minute neighbourhood. A text description can be expanded and viewed at full screen or alternatively, downloaded to the user's desktop.
