Wounds Australia

Wounds Australia is the national peak body for chronic wound health in Australia, raising awareness of the risks of wounds, the warning signs of chronic wounds, and how to care for your skin. In January 2026, they took an important step towards making their digital resources more inclusive by implementing the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar across their websites.

As CEO Jeff Antcliff explains, “Clear, accessible information empowers people to take an active role in their own care.” For Wounds Australia, accessibility in health communication isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Our Brief

Accessibility is a big challenge in health communication. Many people living with chronic wounds face barriers when trying to access information online, from older age and vision loss to learning differences, low literacy and language needs.

This meant there was a real risk that important guidance, self-care advice and support could be missed by the very people it was designed to help. Wounds Australia needed a solution that would:

  • Make health information easier to find, read and understand
  • Support people with different abilities, needs and languages
  • Reflect their commitment to fair and equal access to wound care
  • Reinforce their position as a leader in inclusive, people-first health communication
  • Be flexible enough to work with a range of content types, such as PDF factsheets

Our Solution

Wounds Australia implemented the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar to create a more flexible and inclusive digital experience, giving visitors access to features such as text-to-speech, translation, reading aids, and customisation tools that adapt content to individual needs. This means people living with chronic wounds, their carers, and healthcare professionals can access and engage with wound care information in a way that works for them, making it easier to understand, trust, and use vital health resources with confidence.

When information is easier to access and understand, people are more likely to use it effectively, benefiting individuals living with wounds, their carers and the clinicians who support them.”
