OpenAccess

Digital for every human

OpenAccess is a disabled-led, Aotearoa-based consultancy making tech accessible for disabled people.


What we do

We help organisations make their digital products accessible for disabled people.

From web accessibility audits to team training — we’ll find the right approach for your organisation.


What is accessibility?

Digital accessibility ensures disabled people can access the same information and services as everyone else — it’s kind of like the digital equivalent of ramps for wheelchair users.

1 in 6 New Zealanders identify as disabled — if your website or app fails to meet accessibility standards, you’re excluding a significant portion of New Zealanders from your services.

WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is an international set of criteria that helps make websites and apps accessible. It includes practical rules like ensuring text has enough colour contrast, adding captions to videos, and making sure content can be read aloud by computers for blind people.

OpenAccess is led by Callum McMenamin. Callum is a leading accessibility expert in Aotearoa New Zealand, with ten years in digital and five years specialising in accessibility.
