Web accessibility

Ensuring access for the widest range of people

Southern Cross University is committed to making its web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities. This includes accommodations for blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity, and combinations of these, and accommodations for learning disabilities and cognitive limitations. We are actively working towards compliance the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2).

What is WCAG 2.2?

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Developed through the W3C process, WCAG 2.2 aims to provide a single shared standard for web accessibility that meets the needs of individuals, organisations and governments internationally.
