Accessibility
How we're making this website and our information accessible for all.
This website is produced by the Western Australian Department of Training and Workforce Development (the Department). It provides access to information about the Department's role and services.
What is accessibility?
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has produced the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) to assist website designers, developers and administrators in producing accessible pages and content. There are three levels of accessibility compliance; Level A, AA and AAA.
Accessibility features
The accessibility features currently available include:
- increasing or decreasing the text size (via the users' browser);
- 'skip to' links and a logical tab order to navigate using assistive technologies; and
- printer-friendly content.
Alternative formats for content
If we have produced a document or other content in a format that is not accessible to you, please contact the Department via email to website@dtwd.wa.gov.au and we will be happy to discuss your needs and, where possible, provide an alternative format of the content.
Languages other than English
As a WA State Government agency, the Department is committed to ensuring that people who are not able to communicate effectively in written and/or spoken Standard Australian English are able to access the information and services we provide. A range of supports, including interpreter and translation services, are available to assist — please visit the Office of Multicultural Interests website, to find out more.

Breadcrumbs
Website breadcrumbs help you to determine the location of the page that you are currently viewing.
The 'crumbs' progress from the highest to the lowest level from left to right, ie starting with the home page and ending with the currently viewed page.

When a web page is printed, it will print the title and location of the page as well as the content. Navigation menus and banners are automatically removed for your convenience to improve readability on paper.
The default contrast for printing is black text on a white background. Any unnecessary images should be removed. It is recommended you use the print preview function of your browser if it is available.
