Evidence snapshot for Sydney
Sydney has hosted pioneering digital inclusion and accessibility work. The Centre for Inclusive Design, a Sydney nonprofit, modelled that inclusive design could reach roughly four times the original market and unlock AUD 4.5 billion in potential salary-earnings impact. The city was also the site of Maguire v SOCOG (2000), one of the world's first rulings treating an inaccessible website as unlawful disability discrimination, which resulted in AUD 20,000 damages. Additionally, Tech Savvy Seniors, a joint NSW Government and Telstra programme, has delivered 119,000+ digital literacy training places across 100+ public libraries since 2012, with 84% of trained seniors reporting confidence in using digital technologies.
