Infosys has entered into a collaboration with the Centre for Accessibility Australia to help bring awareness and inspire a more accessible and inclusive community through the Australian Access Awards.

Following the launch of the awards in 2019, the Centre for Accessibility Australia supported by the Indian IT services company is hosting the bi-annual event to recognise organisations and individuals that are committed to streamlining digital access in their campaigns, resources, or services.

The Centre for Accessibility Australia is an advisor to Infosys on digital accessibility, as part of the collaboration.

Scott Hollier – CEO of Centre for Accessibility Australia said: “We are proud to become an advisor to Infosys and partner with them for the Australian Access Awards which we believe can really help encourage inclusive and accessible experiences within the workplace and wider community. Today we are opening nominations for the 2021 Awards, which will be held on November 19 this year.”

Infosys said that the advisory is crucial to its CSR program in Australia and New Zealand with Centre for Accessibility Australia being an invited member on the Accessible Platform Task Force in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The CSR program, called Pathways, aims to enable more digitally accessible learning experiences for disabled people, said Infosys.

Andrew Groth – SVP Infosys and Region Head Australia and New Zealand said: “Improving accessibility in our workplaces and community is a continuous journey and there’s a lot that can be optimized.

“We’re committed to that journey through Pathways and our other workplace initiatives, creating more digital accessibility opportunities within our organization.”
