Working with Embrace Access
Cost-effective
Easy Read services
We offer Easy Read document translations at an affordable price. Our mission is for every organisation to share information that is accessible for people with reading support needs. By removing cost-related barriers, more Easy Read can be created, allowing more people to exercise their right to information access.
Rapid and reliable delivery
The UNCRPD states that people with communication disability have the right to receive written information in alternative formats without delay. That’s why we deliver codesigned Easy Read books within 5 business days, helping organisations reach more readers in a timely manner.
Evidence-based
Easy Read practice
We use an evidence-based approach and speech pathology expertise to create Easy Read documents that are clear, engaging, and effective for people with a range of literacy support needs. Our Easy Read books use best-practices to help people with different communication access needs to read and understand.
Co-designed with people with disability
At Embrace Access, Easy Read projects focus on the access needs and perspectives of people living with reading support needs. We design our Easy Read books with people who have lived experience. For example, First Nations peoples, seniors, neurodivergent people and people with CALD backgrounds.
Co-design
At Embrace Access, we don’t just create Easy Read documents — we collaborate with people with disability to choose words, images, and content that reflect real experiences and disability access needs. This approach balances power, amplifies disabled voices, and ensures communications are genuinely inclusive for people with reading support needs.​

Meeting WCAG 2.2 Standards
Our Easy Read documents are delivered as tagged PDFs to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines or WCAG standards. These international standards are set by W3C helping websites to be accessible to people with disability. The Australian government is mandated to prepare web content that meets WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards.
