Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 14 July 2026

TECNICOS S.R.L, operating Tecnicos Australia at tecnicossrl.com, is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to make our financial comparison content usable by the widest possible audience.

1. Our commitment

We believe that independent financial information should be accessible to all Australian readers, regardless of ability or the technology they use to access the web. Accessibility is integrated into our design, development and editorial processes — not treated as an afterthought. We aim to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and to meet applicable requirements under the Australian Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth) where relevant.

2. Conformance status

We strive for substantial conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA across tecnicossrl.com. "Substantial conformance" means that most content and functionality on the Website meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria, although some areas may not yet fully conform. Known limitations are described in Section 6 of this statement. We conduct periodic internal reviews and address issues as they are identified.

3. Accessibility features

We have implemented the following features and practices to support accessible use of our Website:

Skip link: A "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page allows keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation.
Semantic HTML: Pages use proper heading hierarchy (one h1 per page, followed by h2, h3 and h4 as appropriate), landmarks (header, main, footer, nav) and lists for structured content.
Consistent navigation: Main navigation appears in the same location across desktop and mobile views.
Breadcrumb and labelling: Sections use aria-labelledby attributes to associate headings with content regions.

3.2 Keyboard and focus

Interactive elements — links, buttons, form fields and accordion controls — are operable via keyboard.
Visible focus indicators help keyboard users track their position on the page.
Modal dialogs and mobile navigation panels support keyboard dismissal and appropriate ARIA attributes.

3.3 Visual design

Text and background colours are chosen to provide sufficient contrast for readability.
Content reflows responsively on smaller screens without requiring horizontal scrolling for standard text content.
Text can be resized up to 200% in most browsers without loss of content or functionality.
Decorative images use empty alt attributes or aria-hidden where appropriate; informative images include descriptive alt text.

3.4 Forms and interactive content

Form fields are associated with visible labels.
Required fields are indicated and validation messages are provided where applicable.
FAQ accordions use aria-expanded attributes to communicate open/closed state to assistive technologies.
Star ratings in comparison tables include aria-label attributes describing the numeric score.

3.5 Language and readability

Pages are marked with lang="en-AU" to assist screen readers with pronunciation.
Editorial content is written in plain English suitable for a general Australian audience.
Link text is descriptive and indicates the destination or purpose where practicable.

4. Assistive technology compatibility

We test the Website with commonly used browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and aim for compatibility with assistive technologies including screen readers (such as NVDA and VoiceOver), screen magnification software and voice control tools. Because configurations vary, your experience may differ depending on your browser, operating system and assistive technology version.

5. Third-party content

Some content on our Website — such as outbound links to bank and lender websites, embedded analytics or affiliate tracking — is provided by third parties. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of external sites and encourage you to consult the accessibility statements of those providers. If you encounter accessibility barriers on a linked external site, please contact that provider directly.

6. Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Known areas we are working to improve include:

Some older blog illustrations may have generic alt text that could be more descriptive.
Complex comparison tables may require horizontal scrolling on very narrow viewports; we provide responsive layouts where possible.
PDF documents, if published in future, may not be fully accessible until remediated.
Third-party scripts loaded for analytics or affiliate tracking are outside our direct control but are reviewed for impact on accessibility.

We maintain an internal log of reported issues and prioritise fixes that affect core navigation, forms and primary comparison content.

7. Ongoing efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. Our efforts include:

Reviewing new pages and features against WCAG 2.1 Level AA before publication.
Training editorial and development staff on accessible content and coding practices.
Monitoring user feedback and responding to accessibility enquiries promptly.
Re-assessing the Website after significant design or platform changes.
