Accessibility on this site

We must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

Under this Act, we must:

  • ensure that people with disability can access online information and services
  • make online resources accessible to people who have technical constraints, such as older browsers and lower speed internet connections.

This site should work on all commonly used browsers. It will also work with all commonly used accessibility hardware and software. It will scale it to both higher and lower resolutions. Our page on Resizing text will talk you through changing the text on our site.

Some documents provided are in formats other than HTML, such as PDF documents and forms. If you can't access these, contact us and tell us what you need.

We’re endeavouring to be as accessible as possible. You can contact us to let us know if something isn’t working.
