This provides checklists, video tutorials and FAQs." “All customer-facing emails are coded to be read aloud.” “We contract out for Easy Read and Auslan translations of important content.” “We use web quality assurance tools to monitor accessibility, readability etc across our websites. We also provide assistive technology software on our websites which adds text to speech functionality. Products used: Monsido and BrowseAloud.” “We are working on tactile features on some of our equipment so that people with low vision can still use it safely. We have voice operated software, and high contract screens and tactile keyboards.”

Hospitality and Tourism, on the other hand, are mixed in their implementation (ahead of the curve when it comes to creating accessible job ads but well behind in most other regards).
