Keeping a newly disabled person in employment has a cost benefit of at least 2.5 times an employer's investment. This is a key finding of a report launched today (6 October) at the Health & Wellbeing Conference by the Royal National Institute of Blind People. The report outlines the business case for employment retention, showing how it can deliver financial benefits to the economy, to employers and to employees.

Australia enacted its Disability Discrimination Act in 1992, prior to the now ubiquitous World Wide Web. However, the "Maguire v. Sydney Olympic Games Organising Committee" High Court case in 2000 clearly demonstrated that the Australian Disability Discrimination Act applies in the online world.

in terms of accessibility for people with disabilities, Microsoft Office for the Mac – 2011 is a complete failure. Not only can you not make accessible documents with this product, it does not work with VoiceOver. That’s right; you cannot read documents created in MS Office for Mac 2001 with VoiceOver.

Now the bad news: MS Office for Mac still does not fully work with VoiceOver. VoiceOver will read the toolbars and their content, and says that it is "interacting with document pane view" but that's all. VoiceOver cannot read the content of the document pane, thus the product is still not accessible.
