We are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for every user. We believe in breaking down barriers and ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We recognise that the internet should be available to all, and we are committed to maintaining standards that enable accessibility for everyone, regardless of their circumstances or abilities.

As part of our commitment to making the web accessible to everyone, we strive to exceed industry standards for web accessibility compliance, using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA as our benchmark. These guidelines were established by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative to ensure that web content is accessible to a broad range of people with disabilities.

Our website's accessibility is continuously optimized by an AI-based application that runs in the background. This application remediates the HTML of the website and adapts its functionality and behaviour so that blind and visually impaired individuals can use screen readers to access the website's content, and individuals with physical disabilities can use the keyboard to navigate the website without the need to activate any prompts.

We are committed to providing the best possible experience for all users, and we will continue to make accessibility a top priority as we work to improve our website's functionality and design.

Disclaimer

We aim to provide the highest standards of accessibility on our website, because we understand the moral and practical importance of being compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We perform regular scans to identify and fix any accessibility issues that may arise. Despite our best efforts to uphold the highest possible accessibility standards on our website, you may find that there may be some pages or components of our website that may fall short of accessibility standards. This may be because we have not yet identified, or are currently in the process of identifying the best possible solution for such a problem.

Accessibility features

We utilize a web accessibility interface that enables people with disabilities to adjust the website's user interface and design to meet their specific needs.

To enable the accessibility assistant on our website, click on the accessibility interface , the menu will appear. You can then interact with the features and options to suit your specific needs:

Vision: this profile allows users with visual impairments (such as low vision and colour blindness) to adjust our website’s text size, colour contrast, and saturation to suit their preferences.

Cognitive: this profile provides assistive features that improves concentration of users with cognitive impairments and helps them focus on essential elements of the website.

Seizure safe: this profile reduces the risk of epileptic seizures by disabling animations and pausing flashing content and triggering colour combinations.

ADHD: this profile provides a less destructive web experience for users with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and other neurodevelopmental impairments to improve browsing, reading and concentration.

Dyslexia: this profile makes it easier for people with learning difficulties such as dyslexia to read and understand contents on the website.

Support for assistive technology

We use modern methods such as semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes that our website is accessible to user agents(browsers, assistive technology, etc) so that our customers can choose suitable tools, with little or no limitations. We have support for the major user agents in the market.

In the spirit of reconciliation, Faunatech acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
