Accessibility

The Air Force Association wants everyone in the Air Force family, and everyone who supports it, to be able to use this website, whatever their age, ability or the device they use.

Our standard

This website was designed and built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the standard used by Australian government websites. We keep checking pages as content is added.

What we have done

• Every page can be used with a keyboard, with a “Skip to content” link and a clearly visible focus outline.
• Text and buttons are designed to stand out clearly against their background.
• Images have text descriptions for people who use screen readers.
• Pages use proper headings and landmarks, so screen readers can move around them easily.
• Every form field has a label, and error messages say what needs fixing.
• Text can be enlarged in your browser without the page breaking, and the site works on phones and tablets.
• If you have asked your device to reduce motion, the site turns off its animations.
• Events can be added to your calendar, and phone numbers can be tapped to call on a mobile.

Known limitations

Some parts of the site do not yet fully meet the standard:

• Some older documents in the Resources library are scanned PDFs, which screen readers cannot read. Contact us and we will provide the information another way.
• Some historic photographs carried over from our old website have only brief descriptions.
• Some content comes from other organisations, such as the payment step of the donation form (Stripe and PayPal), maps from Google, videos on YouTube and the Wings magazine reader. We cannot fully control how accessible these are.

Tell us if something is hard to use

If you have trouble using any part of this website, or need information in a different format, please tell us through our contact page or by post to Air Force Association Ltd, Suite 3, 24 Camberwell Road, Hawthorn East VIC 3123. Please tell us the page and what went wrong, and we will do our best to fix it or get you the information another way. We will reply within five working days.
