This is a national award that&nbsp;recognises organisations that&nbsp;have made their websites accessible for people with a print disability including people with a vision impairment. An accessible website allows people with a&nbsp;vision impairment to navigate&nbsp;independently around the&nbsp;site without having to ask a sighted person to do it for them. There are many&nbsp;factors considered in making&nbsp;a website accessible some&nbsp;are: every image being audio described, the type and size&nbsp;of font used, colour contrast&nbsp;and how they navigate thewebsite. NPCG shared the winning podium with the Coles Online shopping&nbsp;website, ANZ Bank app, ABC News app, the South Australian Government and the overall winner Shenton College. All winners went home with a Golden Carrot Award which is representative of organisations being proactive about accessibility (the carrot) rather that only responding to negative or punitive feedback (the stick).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations&nbsp;to all winners and we look forward to a time when access is the norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/northperthcommunitygarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191212_175856573_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.northperthcommunitygarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191212_175856573_BURST000_COVER_TOP.jpg?fit=739%2C554&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of NPCG Chairperson accepting the award.\" class=\"wp-image-1385\" width=\"370\" height=\"277\"\/><\/a><figcaption>NPCG Chairperson Emma Vosnacos accepts the award.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/northperthcommunitygarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191212_191551745.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.northperthcommunitygarden.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_20191212_191551745.jpg?fit=739%2C985&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Photo of the Golden Carrot award.\" class=\"wp-image-1389\" width=\"370\" height=\"493\"\/><\/a><figcaption>The Golden Carrot award!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe 2019 Australian Access Awards were held last week and NPCG won the \u201cNotfor Profit\u201d category.
