Accessibility Statement for Perth Motocross Academy
Effective Date: October 22, 2025
Perth Motocross Academy Pty Ltd (ABN [23 274 018 306], referred to as "we", "us", "our", or the "Academy") is committed to ensuring that our website (www.perthmotocross.com.au) and services are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience in line with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and relevant Australian laws, such as the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth). This statement outlines our efforts for both digital and physical accessibility.
1. Digital Accessibility (Website)
We aim to make our website usable by everyone, regardless of ability or technology used. Our ongoing efforts include:
-
Design and Features: Incorporating alternative text for images, keyboard navigation support, sufficient color contrast, resizable text, and compatibility with screen readers (e.g., NVDA, JAWS).
-
Content: Providing clear headings, descriptive links, and captions for multimedia where applicable.
-
Testing and Improvements: Regularly auditing our site using automated tools and manual reviews. We work to address any identified barriers promptly.
-
Third-Party Content: Some elements (e.g., embedded maps or payment gateways) may be provided by third parties; we select accessible options where possible but cannot guarantee full control.
If you encounter any accessibility issues on our website, such as difficulty navigating, reading content, or using forms, please contact us with details (e.g., the page URL, your device/browser, and the problem). We will investigate and respond within 7 business days.
2. Physical Accessibility (Services and Activities)
Our motocross lessons, bike rentals, and tours in the Pinjar Motorcycle Area and Gnangara Motorcycle Area are outdoor, high-risk activities that may present challenges for some individuals. We are dedicated to making reasonable accommodations where safe and feasible:
-
Participant Requirements and Accommodations: We require disclosure of any disabilities or medical conditions (e.g., mobility issues, visual/hearing impairments) prior to booking to assess suitability and provide tailored support. Equipment sizes are confirmed in advance for fit, and we offer beginner-friendly sessions with extended familiarization (e.g., skills checks for control and safety).
-
On-Site Support: Our tour guides/instructors assist with gear fitting, bike starting, and session pacing. For vulnerable participants (e.g., those with mobility limitations), we prioritize safety during evacuations by seating them in vehicles. Mandatory breaks address fatigue, especially for kids, beginners, or those in hot weather (>30°C).
-
Limitations: Due to the nature of off-road riding (e.g., uneven terrain, physical exertion), not all activities may be suitable for everyone. We reserve the right to refuse participation if it poses a safety risk, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions and Liability Waiver. No prior experience is required, but we may adjust sessions (e.g., convert to coaching-focused) or offer alternatives/refunds if unsafe.
-
Evacuation and Safety: Our Evacuation Plan includes provisions for helping families and vulnerable clients, with quick routes (1-10 minutes) and staff-led assistance. We monitor for heat exhaustion and provide water breaks.
If you need accommodations for our physical services (e.g., modified sessions or support), please inform us during booking. We encourage feedback to improve inclusivity.
