BrisbaneUpdates wants everyone in Brisbane and South East Queensland to be able to use this site, whatever device or assistive technology they use.
Our target
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. This is a target, not a claim of full conformance: the site is new and has not yet been independently audited. We began an internal accessibility review in November 2026 (headings, link text, keyboard access to forms, mobile layouts) and will publish findings as issues are addressed.
What we do
- Use clear headings, descriptive link text and meaningful page titles.
- Provide text alternatives for informative images, and label AI-generated images as illustrations.
- Keep colour contrast at or above WCAG AA levels in both light and dark modes.
- Make forms usable with a keyboard and screen reader, with visible labels, clear error messages and no time limits.
- Avoid content that flashes, and respect your “reduce motion” setting where the theme allows.
- Offer a font-size control and a dark mode.
- Write in plain Australian English.
Known limitations
- Some design elements come from a third-party theme and page builder; we are reviewing them and fixing issues as we find them.
- Embedded third-party content (maps, videos, social posts) may not be fully accessible; we provide a link to the source where we can.
- PDF documents supplied by organisers or councils may not be accessible; tell us if you need the information in another form.
Tell us about a problem
If you have difficulty using any part of the site, email contact@brisbaneupdates.com with “Accessibility” in the subject line, or use the contact form. Tell us the page address, what went wrong and the browser or assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond within a few business days and to fix genuine barriers as a priority.
Standards and review
This statement will be reviewed when the site design changes and at least once a year. Last reviewed: November 2026.
