Usability Testing
Testing accessibility features of a website, which may include asking questions such as:
- Can people that require a screen reader navigate the pages?
- Are the colours and contrast appropriate for someone with low vision or colour-blindness?
- Is the necessary information easy to locate for the intended audience of the website?
Testing Signage and Navigation
Testing proposed changes to public transport signage, which would normally take place on site, and could include scenarios such as:
- Asking participants to read various examples of signage from various distances and provide feedback.
- Asking participants to walk the length of the platform (where tests are for trains and trams) and asking whether they noticed particular signage.
- Asking people with low vision if they can navigate the platform safely and find accessible versions of the signage.
Office and building assessments
Testing office layouts to ensure all amenities are accessible and pathways accommodate wheelchair, cane or guide dog users. This would take place on-site or in a mock up version of the proposed layout, and may include having participants act out scenarios such as:
- Identifying and navigating themselves to the bathroom without assistance.
- Having groups of participants walk the pathways together to assess whether they can comfortably share the walkway and/or pass one another when walking another direction.
- Testing out furniture or other equipment and providing
- Feedback on comfort or ease of use
- Disability Inclusion Action Plan
Client Case Studies
Inclusive design considers the full range of human diversity. By applying lived experience and co-design to infrastructure, products, services and customer experiences; designers and engineers gain unique insights into barriers experienced by those hardest to reach and the solutions to benefit everyone.
Consider partnering with Ability Works Australia on your next project, and together we can all help make Australia more inclusive for everyone.

Aurecon
“Bringing in Ability Works employees to the design development proved invaluable to the project. Their unique skillset and fresh perspective resulted in clear requirements for accessible transport design by hearing from those who experience the challenges of existing non-accessible designs day in day out. This input will not just be of benefit to people with accessibility needs, but to all transport users in the City of Melbourne”
Andrew Kendall, User Centred Design Leader at Aurecon
