The BCC partnering with Centre for Accessibility Australia to transform the digital access landscape in WA
The Behaviour Change Collaborative (The BCC) will work Centre For Accessibility Australia to deliver a systemic advocacy grant that aims to fundamentally transform the digital access landscape in Western Australia.
The purpose of the grant, funded by the WA Department of Communities, is to advocate and promote the importance of digital access throughout Australia.
The project is also being supported by Perth-based digital agency Media On Mars.
The BCC’s Founder and Managing Director, Luke van der Beeke said: “We are very much looking forward to working with CFAA and Media on Mars to advocate for, and realise, improved digital access.”
“Digital access is an enabling right for all West Australian’s, and accessible design of new technologies benefits the whole community,” he said.
The project consists of seven parts:
- Discovery project: this component focuses on the creation of digital access explainer videos and the publishing of content on the CFA Australia website.
- Engage Survey Report: this component is part of the impact measurement processes. Includes surveys for the community and not-for-profit sectors and other benchmarking processes.
- Discovery workshops: these are workshops with six Perth and three regional training modules along with the development of two online courses.
- Audit to Implementation roadmaps: this includes 20 audits and 20 roadmaps to support organisations in making their content accessible,
- Policy development advocacy: this is to develop legal policy and advocate for digital access improvements in policy and legislative frameworks.
- Celebrating Success in Digital Access: this is the creation of videos and other materials to celebrate the project outcomes.
- Impact measurement and recommendations: this is the impact measurement phase of the project to determine the outcomes of the project and ensure systemic change continues in the space
CFA Australia CEO Dr Scott Hollier said: “We are extremely grateful to the Minister for Disability the Hon. Don Punch and the WA Department of Communities for this incredible opportunity.
I look forward to working with our digital agency partner Media On Mars and The Behaviour Change Collaborative as we fundamentally change how digital access issues are addressed in WA” he said.
