Accessibility Statement
Brilliant Minds Clinic is committed to ensuring equal access to our services for all individuals, including people with disability. We design, review, and maintain our website and digital resources in line with the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth), the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) Guidelines on Equal Access to Digital Goods and Services, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1/2.2, aiming for Level AA conformance (with AAA where feasible).
1. Standards and Legal Framework
We align our accessibility practices with:
-
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth)

Readable design with sufficient colour contrast and scalable text

Both desktop and mobile devices
Some older technologies may not support all features, but we continually monitor and improve accessibility.
4. Documents and Alternatives
Where we provide downloadable content (such as PDF reports or forms), we aim to make them accessible. On request, we can provide alternative formats such as HTML summaries or accessible Word versions.
5. Third-Party Content
Our site may include links to third-party services. While we cannot guarantee those providers’ compliance, we encourage them to follow accessibility standards. If you encounter barriers with third-party content, please let us know so we can offer alternatives.
6. Reasonable Adjustments
If you require a reasonable adjustment to access our information or services (for example, alternative communication methods, support with booking, or interpreting services), please contact us. We will work with you to find a suitable solution consistent with the Disability Discrimination Act.
7. Monitoring and Improvement
We review our website and digital services against WCAG 2.1/2.2 and update them regularly. Known issues and planned improvements may be listed on this page. This statement is reviewed at least annually, or sooner if accessibility standards or legislation change.
