Nillumbik Reconciliation Group Inc. is committed to including people of all abilities in our events, meetings, communications, and online presence. We aim to provide a welcoming and accessible experience for everyone in our community.

Physical Meetings and Events

  • We choose meeting and event venues with accessibility in mind and provide details about venue access (ramps, toilets, parking, public transport) on our website or invitations.
  • If accessibility at a specific location is limited, we will state this in advance and seek alternatives when possible.
  • Members and participants are encouraged to contact us before events to discuss any specific requirements so we can find reasonable ways to help.

Digital Content and Documents

  • We publish key documents, such as the annual report and newsletters, on our website and in standard digital formats (such as PDF or Word), aiming to ensure they are readable using basic screen readers or text-to-speech apps.
  • For extra accessibility, we can provide large print or plain text versions of reports or newsletters on request.
  • While our website has not been formally audited for accessibility, we work to follow basic Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) for readability and navigation, and are committed to ongoing improvement within our resources.

Communication and Support

  • We will make reasonable efforts to provide information or support in alternative formats or methods (such as reading content aloud, arranging seating, or providing large-print handouts), although services such as Auslan interpreters or live captioning are limited by our available funds.
  • Our emails and news updates aim for clear language and good contrast, and we welcome feedback to improve further.

Feedback and Requests

  • If you encounter barriers to participation or have suggestions for improving accessibility, please contact the Secretary or event organiser.
  • Requests for alternative formats or special support will be considered promptly and reasonably, subject to available resources.

Ongoing Commitment

  • We will regularly review accessibility needs and update our practices as technology and resources allow.
  • We value inclusion and welcome all suggestions about improving access to our group’s activities and materials.
