Audits for Primary and Secondary Schools EOIs

Free Audits for Primary and Secondary Schools EOIs

Are you part of a Western Australian School passionate about accessibility and inclusion? If so, we are excited to invite you to partner with us in a ground-breaking project aiming to improve digital access across the state.

The Digital Access WA Project offers free accessibility audits to primary and secondary schools, including district high schools, senior colleges, education support schools, deaf education schools, agricultural colleges, and other institutions catering to primary and secondary students, aiming to enhance website accessibility for people with disability. This initiative supports Schools by evaluating and auditing their current level of digital access, receiving customised roadmaps to understand what needs to be done to achieve their accessibility goals, and practical steps for implementation.

If you are interested in having your School considered for this free audit initiative, please fill out the online EOI form by 10th May 2024.
