Accessibility Statement

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-off project. We work to make sure that content, layout, colour, typography and interactive elements on our site are perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for everyone.

• Use semantic HTML and clear heading structures so screen readers can navigate the page.
• Provide meaningful alternative text for informative images and empty alt text for decorative imagery.
• Design colour combinations to meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios for body text.
• Support keyboard navigation, with visible focus states on interactive elements.
• Provide reduced-motion behaviour for users who prefer minimal animation.
• Ensure the site is responsive and usable across common screen sizes and orientations.

Some third-party embeds, videos and legacy content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We are working to identify and address these areas over time, and to apply the same standard to new content and features as they ship.

• New Zealand Government Web Accessibility Standard 1.1.
• New Zealand Government Web Usability Standard 1.3.
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
• New Zealand Human Rights Act 1993, which prohibits disability discrimination.

If you have trouble accessing any part of our website, or you would like content in a different format, please contact us. We will do our best to respond within five working days and to provide the information you need in a way that works for you.
