Imagine a world where age, recovery, and mobility don't separate
us – but bring us closer. Imagine places that echo with laughter,
camaraderie, and the warmth of connection.

Many Austalians live with disabilities, a significant portion,
in fact, amounting to up to 1 in 5 individuals. This statistic
increases to 2 in 5 with people age 65 and older.
Statistic
show Of the Australians with disability aged 15 and over,
almost one-third (33.1%) avoided situations because of their
disability. One of the most common situations avoided was
going to shops, banks etc. (34.3%).
Australia has
laws and regulations in place that mandate accessibility
standards for websites and digital content. The Disability
Discrimination Act (1992) and the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) set specific requirements for making digital
platforms, including websites, accessible to people with
disabilities. Having a dedicated website for disabled people
can serve as a model of compliance with these legal standards,
encouraging other websites to follow suit.
