Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on 14 June 2025.

 

At McLaren Vale & Districts War Memorial Hospital (MVH), we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of ability or technology.

 

We believe that every member of our community deserves equal access to information and services, both in person and online.

Our Commitment

MVH strives to provide a website that is inclusive, usable, and easy to navigate for people of all abilities, including those who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software, and alternative input devices.

We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992  and other applicable Australian legislation.

Features and Design Considerations

To improve accessibility, the MVH website incorporates the following features:

  • Clear headings and logical content structure

  • High-contrast text and resizable fonts

  • Alt-text on all images and graphics

  • Keyboard-navigable menus and links

  • Descriptive link text and form labels

  • Mobile-responsive design for all devices and screen sizes

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We are continually working to update our website and digital content to improve user experience for all visitors. We also encourage community feedback to help us identify and address any access barriers we may have missed.
