With 4 million Australians living with a disability, it is essential that we create accessible experiences for everyone.

In recognition of International Day of People with a Disability on 3 December 2020, the South Australian Government partnered with Microsoft for the online launch of Microsoft’s Australian Accessibility Portal, Accessibility at work: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/business/accessibility-at-work
