The South Australian Skills Commission (SASC) is committed to providing websites that are accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
This includes people with disabilities who may use assistive technology to read or hear content on this site, or people with cognitive disabilities.
Guidelines
We strive to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.0
We aim to meet all Level A success criteria, with Level AA conformance where possible and we continually review our sites to ensure we meet these standards. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please contact us.
