Accessibility

This website is produced by the Western Australian Department of Training and Workforce Development (the Department). It provides access to information about Jobs and Skills WA.

The Department is committed to ensuring that the information on this website is available to the widest possible audience. If you find that part of this website does not meet your accessibility needs, please email website@dtwd.wa.gov.au and we will attempt to rectify the problem, and provide you with any information you require in an alternative format.

What is accessibility?

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has produced the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) to assist website designers, developers and administrators in producing accessible pages and content. There are three levels of accessibility compliance; Level A, AA and AAA.

Accessibility features

The accessibility features currently available include:

  • increasing or decreasing the text size (via the users' browser);
  • 'skip to' links and a logical tab order to navigate using assistive technologies; and
  • printer-friendly content.

Alternative formats for content

If we have produced a document or other content in a format that is not accessible to you, please contact the Department and we will be happy to discuss your needs and, where possible, provide an alternative format of the content.

Languages other than English

As a WA State Government agency, the Department is committed to ensuring that people who are not able to communicate effectively in written and/or spoken Standard Australian English are able to access the information and services we provide. A range of supports, including interpreter and translation services, are available to assist — please visit the Office of Multicultural Interests website, to find out more.
