Accessibility

The Government's access and equity policies aim to ensure that government services meet the needs of all Australians irrespective of their needs. They also aim to help Australians of all backgrounds to have the opportunity to achieve their potential and participate fully in society - regardless of any special need or disability. This means making government services culturally appropriate, accessible, consumer-oriented and effective.

In alignment with the Federal Government's Accessible Government Services for All policies and in order to ensure that people with a disability can use the Bureau of Meteorology's website, the Vision Australia Foundation has tested the compliance of the Bureau's website with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. The Bureau's aim is to meet level "A" to the best of our ability and incorporate levels "Double A" and "Triple A" and to continue to work on developing and further improving accessibility to our site.

If, because of a disability, you are having difficulty accessing any online materials produced by the Bureau, please contact our Accessibility Officer and provide the following information:

• your contact details;
• the location of the page you are accessing;
• the operating system and browser version you are using;
• any other software you are using;
• the nature of the problem you are experiencing.

The Bureau's disability service will then make arrangements to provide you with the information you are seeking in an accessible manner.
