Media Access Australia

'We believe that all Australians have the right to access all forms of media and information, through technology, so they can participate fully in society.’

Media Access Australia is Australia’s only independent not-for-profit organisation devoted to increasing access to media for people with disabilities.

Access to media through technology empowers people to be independent, gain knowledge, make their own choices, and be active members of our society.

We promote inclusion by providing expert knowledge and advice on existing and emerging mainstream technologies to government, industry, educators, consumer organisations and individuals.

We work as a catalyst for change in areas of access that include television, DVD, cinema, the arts, education, computing and the Internet, with a primary focus on people who are blind or vision impaired, or Deaf or hearing impaired.
