Deakin University

CfID were very helpful in getting us started with document accessibility. When we were impacted by COVID-19, they went straight into Plan B and designed an online programme to suit our staff to complete document accessibility training at a time, and place, that suited them. CfID were on hand to assist with troubleshooting using the Slack platform, being quick to respond with answers and solutions. The programme was easy to follow and we can now say we have the skills to make documents accessible.

Director Government Relations Asia Pacific, Adobe (Jennifer-mulveny

Given the strong emphasis that Adobe places on the importance of designing for everyone everywhere, our partnership with CFID has been instrumental in helping to evangelize the benefits of Inclusive Design in Australia.

Like CFID, Adobe prides itself on integrating Inclusive Design practices across every aspect of the customer experience, regardless of where and how they work, live, shop or play. The research that Adobe has supported in partnership with CfID on the benefits of designing inclusively across the Australian economy demonstrates the success in moving the needle on incorporating diversity thinking into every aspect of Australian lives.

SMARTlab and School of Creative Industries from the University of Newcastle have been working with the Center for Inclusive Design in various community engagement initiatives.

One of the key collaborations is to look at how assistive and emerging technologies can be used to develop a Virtual Reality (VR) museum gallery experience. This is an on-going project and such initiative has allowed us to combine immersive technology and social-good elements. We look forward to exploring more with CFID in many coming projects.
