Australia’s leading residential aged care provider, Arcare, has implemented the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar on its website to provide accessibility support for residents, families, and team members with diverse needs.
A Vibrant Community of Residents and Families
Arcare introduced the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar in January 2025, recognising that their website and online portal are key connection points for most people engaging with their services.
With approximately 5.5 million Australians with a disability (ABS) and 5.8 million people speaking a language other than English at home (ABS), Arcare recognised the importance of providing digital support.
This ensures those with visual impairments, learning differences, and language barriers feel empowered, supported, and respected.
“Our goal was to remove barriers and ensure everyone can access important information with ease and dignity. We wanted our digital presence to reflect our values of Relationships, Uniqueness, Partnerships and Flexibility, which guide our in-person care.”
Katrina Rigby, Head of Marketing, Arcare Aged Care
Enhancing Inclusion with the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar
By integrating the Recite Me Toolbar, Arcare now offers a selection of customisable tools, including text-to-speech functionality, translation into over 100 languages, customisable text and colour settings, and reading aids.
A significant portion of Arcare’s workforce comes from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, making the language feature especially valuable.
“We also assist residents and families from a wide range of cultural communities and Recite Me’s ability to translate not just web content but also downloadable PDFs supports better communication and understanding across the board. Their seamless integration and commitment to inclusivity made them the right fit for Arcare.”
