Webinar accessibility

During the live webinar, presenters will be using audio and screen share to deliver the session. Headphones are recommended to ensure you can hear the presenter's audio clearly.

Unfortunately we are not able to provide simultaneous closed captions in the webinar. If you have difficulty following the live webinar, we recommend viewing the webinar recording which will be posted on the Library's YouTube channel. Each recording is supported with closed captions, in line with accessibility guidelines as recommended by the Department of Communication and the Arts and the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

We have a number of library staff who present the learning webinars and presentation styles will vary between each presenter.
