AUS Technology Sector
Organisations in the digital and media sector need to provide accessible online content to ensure people can engage with information, services, and experiences. This is also supported by accessibility legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
Recite Me works with organisations across the digital and media sector to help create more accessible and inclusive online experiences
Regulatory Framework
For organisations in the digital and media sector, content must be accessible and understandable. In Australia, this is supported by legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act, alongside recognised standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
Media websites and mobile applications are expected to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This standard is widely recognised around the world as a key reference point for accessible digital experiences.
Organisations should regularly identify content that does not yet meet accessibility requirements and take steps to improve it.
An accessibility statement should be available and kept up to date. It needs to explain what has been assessed, outline current levels of accessibility, and highlight any areas still being worked on.
Accessibility involves a continuous process of reviewing, improving, and recording progress to support a more inclusive experience over time.
Organisations operating in Australia should meet accessibility standards such as WCAG. When feedback or concerns are raised, they should be addressed promptly.
If some content cannot yet be made fully accessible, there should be other ways for people to access the information or complete the same tasks without unnecessary barriers.
How We Help
For organisations in the digital and media sector, creating accessible online content can involve a range of practical considerations. The points below highlight common focus areas and how Recite Me supports more inclusive digital experiences:
Digital and media platforms are used by people with different preferences and ways of engaging with content. Without the right support, some people may find it harder to read, watch, or interact with online content. The Recite Me Assistive Toolbar helps by offering text-to-speech, translation, and simple display changes, so people can choose how they experience content in a way that works for them.
Identifying where content or design may not work well for everyone can be complex, especially when working towards standards like WCAG 2.2 Level AA. The Recite Me Website Accessibility Checker helps highlight areas that may need attention, supporting ongoing improvements as digital platforms evolve.
People interacting with digital and media content may report barriers when accessing pages, videos, or interactive features. Having a clear way to review and respond to this feedback helps prioritise meaningful improvements. Recite Me supports organisations in reviewing issues and shaping practical next steps.
Digital and media content often includes reports, articles, PDFs, and other downloadable materials. These formats can sometimes be harder to use depending on how they are created. Recite Me tools help identify issues in documents and support updates that make content easier to navigate and understand.
Sharing what has been reviewed, improved, and is still being worked on helps build transparency with audiences. You can support this by regularly updating an accessibility statement. Recite Me provides guidance and tools to help organisations in the digital and media sector record and communicate their accessibility progress over time.
Across Your Organisation
In the digital and media sector, creating accessible experiences is a shared responsibility across different teams and roles. Recite Me supports these teams with practical tools that help improve accessibility across content, platforms, and workflows:
People building websites, apps, and digital platforms often need to consider how content, design, and interaction work together.
Recite Me supports this by helping teams spot barriers, improve usability, and monitor accessibility over time through scanning, reporting, and continuous tracking tools.
Teams producing articles, campaigns, video descriptions, and other media content play a key role in how accessible information is.
Recite Me helps by enabling content to be adapted into different formats, offering translation options, and supporting clearer, more flexible ways for people to engage with online material.
Teams responsible for standards and oversight need clear ways to track progress and demonstrate good practice.
Recite Me supports alignment with frameworks such as WCAG and legislation, including the Equality Act and the EEA.
Teams involved in talent acquisition also play a part in accessibility by shaping how opportunities are presented and accessed online.
Recite Me helps make recruitment content easier to engage with, supporting clearer job information, accessible application journeys, and a more inclusive candidate experience.

How Recite Me helps
Accessibility helps ensure that more people can engage with content, services, and experiences without unnecessary barriers. It also supports better usability, broader audience reach, and clearer communication across digital platforms.
In Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act is the most important piece of legislation for accessibility.
While not all organisations are legally required to meet WCAG in the same way, aligning with WCAG 2.2 Level AA is widely considered best practice and helps support compliance with accessibility expectations.
All digital content should be considered, including webpages, videos, PDFs, reports, and interactive features. Ensuring accessibility across all formats supports a more consistent experience.
