last self-audited july 2026 · WCAG 2.2 level AA · applies to getgarage.com.au
Garage is a neighbourhood utility, and a utility that only works for people with good eyes, a steady hand and a mouse is not a utility. Our target is WCAG 2.2 level AA across the whole site. We self-audited every page against it in July 2026, and everything rated blocking or serious has been fixed. What remains is listed below, plainly.
Four passes over every page, at phone and desktop sizes, in both themes, signed out and signed in:
Automated tools catch roughly a third of real barriers, so the sweep is the floor, not the self-audit.
Found by the same self-audit, judged lower-impact, and kept here until fixed. Being listed is a commitment, not a shrug.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| When you pick a star rating in a review, the chosen stars differ from unchosen ones by colour only. | To be fixed |
| Order status changes (paid, posted) update the page without a spoken announcement. | To be fixed |
| Some sign-up errors are announced but would serve better shown beside the field they belong to. | To be fixed |
| A few of the smallest labels sit at the legibility floor and are being lifted to a larger minimum. | Under review |
| The add-to-home-screen invitation can briefly overlap focused content near the bottom of the screen. | To be fixed |
| On a listing page, a screen reader meets a section heading before the page's title in reading order. | To be fixed |
| The category picker doesn't yet jump to an option as you type its first letters, the way native menus do. | To be fixed |
| At very narrow sizes our layout clips rather than scrolls if content ever overflows. Nothing does today, and we re-check at every release. | Watched |
If any part of Garage does not work with your eyes, ears, hands or assistive technology, we want to know. Write to us through the contact page. Pick “request a feature”, then “accessibility”, or just say it in your own words. A person reads it. Tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way; naming the technology you use helps, but is not required.
Whatever the form calls it, a barrier is treated as a defect, not a feature request: anything that blocks a core journey is fixed with the same urgency as any other outage. Screen-reader passes with VoiceOver run as standing checks on our side; anything they find is fixed and reflected here.
