At Morpheum, our approach to accessibility is taken very seriously.

By accessibility, we mean that all people, including those with disabilities such as vision impairment, can access our website and those we build for our clients.

We are interested in accessibility firstly for personal reasons: we believe that all people should be given equal opportunity to participate in and contribute to the full range of economic, social, cultural and political activities.

But our responsibility is also legal. In Australia the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) is federal legislation that creates new rules for web access. The Act deems websites to be 'goods and services' (see section 24) and should, therefore, be accessible to people with disabilities.

Finally, we wish to ensure accessibility for good business and technical reasons. By developing an accessible site, we know it will load faster, be easier to navigate, will be user-friendly and will be accessible by the largest percentage of users possible. We don't want to restrict any of our users from gaining access.

This site has therefore been designed with accessibility in mind. All of our pages have been approved by an international web-accessibility rating system called Bobby and we have have achieved a Priority 1 Rating.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions regarding our Accessibility Policy via email or by calling +61 3 9682 2740.

You can read more about the Disability Discrimination Act and Accessibility at the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission's website. The World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative (developers of standards for the web) provides excellent information and the guidelines for producing accessible sites.
