Accessibility

The navigation links at the foot of each page on this web site have been set up with keyboard shortcuts. The shortcuts operate as follows:

Alt-1 = Skip to main content
Alt-2 = Contact us
Alt-3 = Help
Alt-4 = Site map
Alt-5 = Home
Alt-6 = Email webadmin@afma.gov.au
Alt-7 = Copyright
Alt-8 = Privacy
Alt-9 = Disclaimer

Please note Netscape 4 does not support these shortcuts. They are fully implemented in Netscape 6 and later, and partially in Internet Explorer 5.5.

New browser windows

In general, each link on this site opens in the existing browser window.

Font sizes

Because of the complex interactions between browser, platform and operating system, it is impossible to find a font size specification that looks the same under all circumstances and that can also be resized for users with visual impairment. Most browsers should resize fonts successfully on this web site, however we recommend the use of a browser that allows text resizing independent of the manner in which the font size is specified. These include Opera 5 or 6 and Netscape 6 or 7 for the PC, and Internet Explorer 5 and 5.1 for the Macintosh.

PDF file accessibility

People with disabilities who wish to access PDF format publications should either:

• Submit the URL of the PDF document to an online converter provided by Adobe. The PDF document will be immediately converted to HTML and displayed in your browser
• Submit the URL of the PDF document via e-mail to convert it to HTML or ASCII text. The converted document will be returned to you in the body of a new e-mail message.
• Download the latest version of Acrobat Reader. Adobe Reader 6.0 contains many capabilities specifically designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to read PDF files, regardless of whether the files have been optimised for accessibility. Full instructions on downloading and using Adobe Reader 6.0 can be found on the Adobe website.

We recommend users visit the Adobe Acrobat Accessibility web site to select the option that best suits their needs.
