MYUNION are working to make our site accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible website enables all visitors, including those with disabilities, to navigate and interact with its content easily and effectively. Our goal is to ensure that every user experiences the same level of access, functionality, and enjoyment. This is achieved through thoughtful site design, compatible system features, and support for assistive technologies such as screen readers and keyboard navigation tools.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

MYUNION.au has been designed and developed in accordance with the WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards to ensure an inclusive online experience for all users. Our website is compatible with assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and voice tools.

​

To enhance accessibility, we have:

​

  • Defined clear and consistent heading structures across all pages

  • Added descriptive alternative text to all images

  • Set an appropriate language structure for the site

  • Ensured proper content order for logical navigation

  • Implemented colour contrasts that meet WCAG 2.1 requirements

  • Reduced unnecessary motion and animation

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and downloadable files are accessible

 

We are committed to continuously improving accessibility and welcome feedback from users to help us enhance the experience for everyone. If you encounter any accessibility issues, please contact us at support@myunion.au.
