Centre for Accessibility Australia

This Easter, we’re grateful for our community! Thank you to everyone working toward a more accessible and inclusive world — your efforts don’t go unnoticed. Wishing you a safe, restful, and joyful long weekend!

Write accessible content using clear and concise language! WCAG 3.1.5 encourages using plain language so content is easier to understand for everyone — including people with cognitive disability, people who speak English as an additional language, and users skimming content. Avoid jargon, keep sentences short, and structure your content clearly. Simple language makes a big difference. Clear communication isn’t just good practice. It’s essential for accessibility.
