Accessibility statement
Paragon Technologies Australia is committed to making paragontech.net.au usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. Last updated 22 April 2026.
Our commitment
We aim for this site to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a target. We’re a small team and we test what we can; we won’t always meet the target perfectly, but we treat accessibility issues as real bugs, not second-tier concerns.
What we’ve done
- Semantic HTML structure (proper headings, landmarks, lists, labels).
- Keyboard accessible navigation throughout — all interactive elements are reachable and operable without a mouse.
- Visible focus styles on form fields and interactive elements.
- Alternative text on meaningful images; decorative images marked as such.
- Honoured the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query — smooth-scroll and transitions are disabled for visitors who request reduced motion. - Colour-contrast ratios aligned to WCAG AA on body text, labels, and actionable controls.
- Form inputs have explicit
<label>associations and clear required-field indicators. - The contact form includes an accessible live-region status for submission feedback.
Known limitations
We’re aware of the following and working on them:
- Some decorative icons are inline SVG without explicit
aria-hidden="true"on every instance. We’re auditing to ensure decorative SVGs are consistently hidden from screen readers. - Long-form prose on policy pages (privacy, terms, this page) has not been audited against automated accessibility checkers beyond basic contrast and structure review.
If you find a problem
Please tell us. Use the contact form at paragontech.net.au, describe what you were trying to do, and what went wrong (browser / assistive technology / specific page helps). Email via the contact form or phone 1300 955 623. We aim to acknowledge accessibility issues within two business days and prioritise fixes according to the severity of impact.
Assistive technology tested
We’ve done development-level checks with keyboard-only navigation, macOS VoiceOver, and desktop Firefox + Chrome + Safari at current releases. We have not yet completed a full assistive-technology audit across Windows NVDA / JAWS / mobile screen readers.
