The introduction of the new Disability Discrimination Act: Guidelines on Equal Access to Digital Goods and Services marks a significant step in aligning tech design, development and delivery with accessibility standards.
In this webinar, we'll unpack what the new guidelines means for tech companies - from practical implementation to legal obligations and innovation opportunities. Sarah Pulis of Intopia, one of Australia's leading digital accessibility consultancies, will walk through the structure and intent of the guidelines, what companies should prepare for and how accessible design can unlock broader market and user value.
Australia is moving toward a more inclusive digital future - and with that comes new expectations for how technology products and services meet the needs of all users, including the 21% of Australians identifying as having a disability, plus senior Australians who experience accessibility needs as they age.

Why it matters:
Accessibility is no longer optional - it's integral to great technology, inclusive innovation, and regulatory readiness. It's also smart business with the disability community, along with their friends and family, having a spending power of $13 trillion globally. When digital experiences are inclusive, people with disability are more likely to engage, return, and recommend your brand. This session will help your teams and leaders get ahead of the curve with clear, practical guidance.
Who should attend:
Product leads, designers, developers, policy and legal teams, and anyone working on digital platforms, services, or customer-facing tech in your organisation.
