This half-day workshop highlights the accessibility requirements in creating documents using the Microsoft Office Suite reviewing Word and PowerPoint, as well as PDF documents. It includes a hands-on document accessibility remediation workshop. The training will be delivered by Nicholas Kapirnas, Senior Digital Media Co-Ordinator of Centre for Accessibility Australia.

The Centre for Accessibility Australia (CFA Australia) is an award-winning not-for-profit organisation that promotes accessibility throughout Australia. Our current focus is the incorporation of digital accessibility, so that people with disability can have equal access to technology and the internet. Founded in 2018, the Centre was established to promote the accessibility movement through advocacy, research, training services, auditing services and celebrations such as the Australian Access Awards.

With qualifications in film and television, Nicholas has an Advanced Diploma in film from North Metropolitan TAFE.
