Accessibility Policy
Bionic Vision Australia is committed to making all of our Internet documents accessible to everyone. To ensure that we meet or exceed the requirements of the W3C-WAI, we continually review our site and modify pages to remove accessibility problems for people with disabilities.
This Web site was coded to comply with the Priority 1 Level Checkpoints of the W3C-WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
Many documents on our web pages are in HTML format, accessible to people who use screen reading software and to those with other vision or mobility impairments. Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents that are accessible to that segment of our visitor base.
Along with Priority 1 compliance, efforts have been made to ensure compatibility with common technologies utilised by the adaptive community. This site has been tested for compliance with screen magnification software, screen-reading software and text-only browsers.
If you use a screen reader, have vision problems, or navigate using only the keyboard or an assistive device, visit our alternative views and navigation tips page for additional information (selecting the link below, you will open a new window in your Internet browser).
alternative views and navigation tips
Some Bionic Vision Australia pages contain links to third party sites not operated by BVA. Those sites are not within our control and may not follow the same privacy, security or accessibility standards as ours. We are not responsible for the content or availability of those sites, their partners or advertisers.
Bionic Vision Australia does not endorse any software products. The accessibility software we know about is listed below for the convenience of our users. Product names are linked to the web pages of the companies that produce them so you can check for additional information. (Note: The web pages will open in new browser windows.)

Cascading Style Sheets
This site implements cascading style sheets. Certain early versions of Netscape (4.x and earlier) and Internet Explorer (3.x and earlier) do not fully support this feature, so elements such as links may display differently. If you are experiencing this, you may wish to disable style sheets. You can do this through your browser. In Explorer (5.50), choose Tools, Internet Options, General Tab, Accessibility, and check the "Format documents using my style sheet" feature. In Netscape (4.75), choose Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and turn off the "Enable Style Sheets" feature.
