ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Last updated: September 2026
Grace International is committed to making its website accessible to people with disabilities. We are continuously working to enhance the accessibility of our website and provide a seamless browsing experience for all visitors, including those with disabilities.
OUR COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITY
At Grace International, we want our church, ministries, events and online information to be accessible and welcoming to everyone.
We recognise that people experience and interact with websites in different ways. We are committed to continually improving the accessibility and usability of our website so that as many people as possible can access the information and services we provide.
We aim to make our website accessible regardless of a person's ability, age, device, technology or method of accessing the internet.
OUR APPROACH
We aim to follow recognised accessibility practices and principles when creating and updating our website content.
This includes working towards:
-
Clear and easy-to-understand language;
-
Logical and consistent page layouts;
-
Appropriate headings and page structure;
-
Text alternatives for meaningful images where practical;
-
Sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds;
-
Links and buttons that are clearly identifiable;
-
Content that can be accessed using a keyboard where supported by the website platform;
-
Captions or other accessible alternatives for video content where practical;
-
Accessible documents and downloadable resources where reasonably possible; and
-
A website that works across commonly used browsers, devices and screen sizes.
Our website is hosted through Wix, and we use the accessibility features and tools available within the platform as part of our ongoing accessibility work.
ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR CONTENT
We recognise that not all content can always be made accessible in the same way.
Some content on our website may include photographs, video, documents, graphics or other materials that may present challenges for some visitors.
Where practical, we will provide alternative ways to access important information.
If you have difficulty accessing particular content, please contact us. We will do our best to provide the information in an alternative format or find another way to assist you.
CHURCH SERVICES, MINISTRIES AND EVENTS
Accessibility is important not only online but also when people participate in Grace International's church services, ministries and events.
Accessibility arrangements may vary depending on the venue, ministry or event.
If you have accessibility requirements or need assistance attending an event or activity, we encourage you to contact us in advance where possible so that we can discuss how we may be able to support you.
This may include requirements relating to:
-
Physical access and mobility;
-
Parking or drop-off access;
-
Seating;
-
Hearing;
-
Vision;
-
Communication;
-
Sensory needs;
-
Service animals; or
-
Other accessibility requirements.
We will do our best to work with you to identify reasonable ways to support your participation.
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Our website is intended to work with commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers, keyboard navigation and browser accessibility features.
Because technology, browsers, devices and assistive technologies vary, we cannot guarantee that every part of the website will work perfectly with every combination of technology.
We will continue to review and improve the website as we become aware of accessibility issues.
FEEDBACK
Your feedback helps us improve.
If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website, find something that is difficult to understand or use, or have suggestions about how we could make our online information more accessible, please let us know.
When contacting us, it is helpful if you can tell us:
-
The page or content you were trying to access;
-
What difficulty you experienced;
-
The device, browser or assistive technology you were using, if relevant; and
-
What you think would help.
You do not need to provide this information if you would prefer not to.
ALTERNATIVE FORMATS
If you need information from our website in an alternative format, please contact us.
Where reasonably possible, we will work with you to provide the information in a format that meets your needs.
ONGOING IMPROVEMENT
Accessibility is an ongoing process.
We will continue to review our website, content and online services and look for opportunities to improve accessibility and inclusion.
We welcome feedback from our church community and website visitors as part of this process.
