Introduction
The Web Accessibility Toolbar is provided by the Accessible Information Solutions (AIS) team of Vision Australia. Please read the Terms of Use before downloading and installing the Web Accessibility Toolbar.
The Web Accessibility Toolbar has been developed to aid manual examination of web pages for a variety of aspects of accessibility. It consists of a range of functions that:
- identify components of a web page
- facilitate the use of 3rd party online applications
- simulate user experiences
- provide links to references and additional resources
We value all feedback received. Please contact us about any functionality that may not work or other suggestions for improvement.
Testing a website for accessibility can be a time-consuming and laborious process. The free Web Accessibility Toolbar can do most of the hard work for you though. Read all about it in this month feature article and discover how to use web accessibility's best kept secret!

Ongoing Development
The Toolbar functionality development is an ongoing process, as the Toolbar has an update function the tools/references available can be updated without the user having to re-install the software. Also, some toolbar functionality is reliant upon Javascript and CSS files hosted on the Vision Australia server, these files may be modified, resulting in a change in the way the associated Toolbar function works.
