Evolve Housing is committed to providing equal opportunity to our residents, with equal access to community housing services and programs, including working with culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

The Evolve Housing website has been designed with a focus on accessibility and ease of use for all users, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. The website endeavours to adopt the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, which provide a framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, language and learning disabilities.

To remove barriers to anyone using our website, including those with a disability, there are features accessible by clicking on the white figure in the blue circle in the bottom left hand side of the screen. These accessibility features include:

• Contrast
• Bigger text
• Pause animations
• Dyslexia friendly
• Line height
• Highlight links
• Text spacing
• Text alignment
• Saturation
• Hide images
• Cursor control

There is also a translation tool in the top right hand side of the website which enables users to change the written content on the website from English to selected language options, powered by Google Translate*.

Several of Evolve Housing’s key policies have also been translated into Vietnamese and Arabic, with resident data having indicated that English, Vietnamese and Arabic are the most commonly spoken languages amongst our residents.

The above features have been designed specifically with Evolve Housing’s diverse tenant profile in mind, and aim to cater to people of all abilities and needs, allowing them equal access to information.

While Evolve Housing does aim to communicate as clearly and simply as possible, it is noted that some of the documents on our website may require a reasonable level of understanding and/or knowledge due to the specialised or technical nature of the document.

If you have any problems using the website, or have any accessibility concerns, please contact us. We also welcome any feedback or suggestions on how we can make our website more accessible for you.
