Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 24 March 2026

MedQBank is committed to providing a study tool that is accessible to all UWA medical students, including those with disabilities. We aim to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, as recommended by the Australian Human Rights Commission under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth).

1. What We Do

MedQBank incorporates the following accessibility features:

Semantic HTML with proper heading hierarchy
Keyboard-navigable interface with visible focus indicators
Skip-to-content link for screen reader and keyboard users
Dark mode to reduce visual fatigue and support light-sensitive users
Responsive design supporting various screen sizes and zoom levels
ARIA-compliant UI components via the shadcn/ui component library
Sufficient colour contrast ratios in both light and dark themes

2. Known Limitations

MedQBank is a student-built project maintained by a single developer. While we strive for full WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, some areas may not yet meet all criteria. Known limitations include:

Some complex interactive components (e.g. quiz answer selection, flashcard flip) may have limited screen reader support
Not all images or diagrams include detailed alt text descriptions
A formal third-party accessibility audit has not yet been conducted

3. Feedback & Contact

If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using MedQBank, or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at 25047004@student.uwa.edu.au. We take all accessibility feedback seriously and will make reasonable efforts to address issues promptly.
