Andrew Flaws
- Queensland, Australia
Web & Document Accessibility Auditor
Andrew is a document accessibility specialist with two years of experience at one of Australia’s largest telecommunications companies. He is dedicated to making digital content, whether documents or websites, accessible to everyone. In his role, Andrew has focused on the complex task of remediating documents to meet stringent accessibility standards, ensuring they are usable by people of all abilities.
Andrew works meticulously to ensure that elements like headings, tables, images, and links are structured in a way that screen readers and other assistive technologies can interpret accurately. This means not only adjusting visible content but also working behind the scenes—adding meaningful alt text to images, ensuring proper reading order, fixing tagging errors, and making sure interactive elements like forms are fully functional for all users. His work helps transform large volumes of documents, from policy papers to user manuals, into accessible formats, often under tight deadlines.
Recently, Andrew has broadened his expertise to include web accessibility audits, ensuring that websites are built with all users in mind. For him, accessibility is not just about meeting standards—it’s about creating truly inclusive digital experiences that empower everyone to engage seamlessly.
