About Us

This website was created by researchers at Curtin University and funded by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN).

The operation of the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network is made possible by funding provided by the Commonwealth of Australia under section 593 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. This funding is recovered from charges on telecommunications carriers.

The Curtin University research team is led by Professor Katie Ellis, a leading scholar in the field of disability and media research. Prof Ellis is the Director of the Centre for Culture and Technology (CCAT) at Curtin and has published extensively on topics such as accessibility and disability representation.
