Welcome to Access on Demand!

This website was created to raise awareness of the importance of accessibility on streaming television platforms in Australia and report crucial research on this topic. We provide definitions of key terms and share information to help illustrate the benefits of accessibility features for both disabled and non-disabled audiences.

If you are not sure of the key terms, consider starting with these pages:

What is Video on Demand?

What are Accessibility Features?

We provide further info on our research in the Background and Context and Blog and our discussion of specific Australian Service Providers.

Feel free to explore our site and the resources provided.

This project was funded by a grant from the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN), Australia’s peak body for consumer representation in communications. All research was undertaken by the disability research team from Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia.
