Access Advisors' mission is to help businesses across Aotearoa be more accessible for all by removing barriers in interface design. We care about people and accessibility and strive to increase awareness of permanent, temporary and situational access needs.
Initiated by Blind Low Vision New Zealand in 2017 in response to business demand for accessibility support, our connection now extends to many different communities.
Our capabilities span the product life cycle, from discovery through design and development and onto delivery. We help businesses reach their accessibility goals and increase their internal capability, while being conscious of business realities.
