Access to the internet is something most of us take for granted and couldn’t imagine living without. But new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics found for one-million Aussies with a disability that’s exactly what they have to do. It’s an increase from ten years ago but still only 75 per cent of people with a disability have access to the internet. Meanwhile Australians not including those with a disability and older people, have almost complete access. The issue for people with a disability is not just access but accessibility.
