Readable typography
Large editorial headings remain paired with body copy that can reflow and scale without losing content.
ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility
Our approach to making UNBOUNDED™ digital content usable by as many people as reasonably possible.
01 / PUBLIC NOTICE
Accessibility
Commitment
UNBOUNDED aims to design public digital experiences that can be perceived, navigated and understood by people using different devices, browsers, input methods and assistive technologies.
Design approach
The website uses semantic headings, visible focus states, keyboard-operable navigation, sufficient spacing, responsive layouts, meaningful labels and text alternatives where content requires them. Large editorial typography should not come at the cost of readable body text or mobile usability.
Keyboard access
Primary navigation, menus, buttons, forms and disclosure controls should be usable without a mouse. Interactive elements should have logical focus order and visible keyboard focus.
Screen readers and structure
Pages should use meaningful landmarks, heading hierarchy, form labels, button names and link text. Decorative content should be hidden from assistive technology where appropriate.
Colour and contrast
Text and essential controls should maintain sufficient contrast. Information should not rely on colour alone to communicate status such as Scheduled, Access Open or Fully Curated.
Forms
Forms should provide labels, instructions, validation messages and error identification that can be understood without relying solely on visual placement. Sensitive or complex submissions should offer an alternative contact route where needed.
Documents
Downloadable PDFs and other public documents should be produced accessibly where reasonably practicable. Where an older archive file is not fully accessible, UNBOUNDED should provide an alternative format or assistance on request when feasible.
Motion and media
Meaningful video content should provide captions or transcripts where appropriate. Animation and motion should not be necessary to understand essential information.
Known limitations
Some archived materials, third-party embeds or historic documents may not yet meet current accessibility expectations. These should be progressively improved or accompanied by an alternative route where practical.
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact UNBOUNDED with the page, format or action that is difficult to use. Accessibility feedback should be reviewed as a product and content issue rather than treated only as a legal formality.
02 / CORE ACCESSIBILITY EXPECTATIONS
Accessibility belongs in design, content and engineering together.
The experience should remain usable when text is enlarged, the viewport is narrow, colour is unavailable, a keyboard is used instead of a mouse, or assistive technology interprets the page.
Operable navigation
Mega menus, mobile navigation, search, filters and forms remain reachable by keyboard with visible focus.
Understandable status
Calendar states such as Scheduled and Access Open are communicated by text as well as visual styling.
Alternative routes
Where a file, embed or archived record creates a barrier, users can request an accessible alternative where reasonably practicable.
ACCESSIBILITY
A global ecosystem should be usable by more people, across more devices and more contexts.
Accessibility is part of how the website, information and participation routes should be designed.
03 / CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
A global website changes; accessibility review must change with it.
New templates, features, dynamic filters, account flows, documents and third-party services should be checked as they are introduced rather than relying on a one-time audit.
01
Design accessibly.
Use semantic structure, contrast, focus states and responsive layouts from the beginning.
02
Test real interactions.
Check keyboard navigation, zoom, mobile reflow, form errors and representative assistive-technology behaviour.
03
Fix high-impact barriers.
Prioritise problems that block navigation, understanding, form completion or access to essential information.
04
Keep a feedback route open.
Accessibility feedback should identify the affected page, action or document so it can be investigated.
99 / NEXT STEP
Tell us if something is difficult to use.
Accessibility feedback helps us improve the digital ecosystem for everyone, including people using assistive technologies or alternative input methods.
