Print Disability Services

Introduction

The Print Disability Services Program (the Program) supports organisations to produce print material in alternative formats for people with print disability who are unable to read standard print with ease due to vision impairment, a physical disability or a learning disability. 

Funding under the Program is directed to the production of digital masters of print material, to reflect the uptake of recent and emerging technology and to ensure the best quality material is available to the end user. 

There is a significant focus on collaboration, sharing of resources and reducing duplication to ensure people with print disability have increased access to a broad range of material in the alternative format and delivery method of their choice.

There are five organisations currently funded under the Program:

• Vision Australia
• Association for the Blind Western Australia
• Royal Society for the Blind of South Australia
• Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children
• People Learn Productions.
