Funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, CFA Australia commenced the ‘Critical Pathways – Ensuring Digital Accessibility for People with Disability Facing Domestic Violence’ project in 2025.
This project has been initiated in response to people with disability voicing out that there are critical accessibility issues that potentially place people with disability facing domestic violence in danger.
As part of this Australia-first project, CFA Australia will be facilitating the following activities:
- Free website accessibility audits, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 up to Level AA conformance, for organisations nationwide that provide domestic violence support services.
- Two workshops, one in-person and one online, for all organisations in the sector to share findings of common accessibility issues that impact the safety and security of people with disability in accessing critical domestic violence services
- Production of 2 tipsheets – 1 as a guide for people with disability and 1 for organisations supporting people with disability facing domestic violence
A report on the project findings and attitudinal changes will be published upon the completion of all activities.
