A real-time accessibility partner across the Tasman
ExceedAbility is an Australian digital accessibility delivery partner just two hours behind New Zealand. We share your business day, so audits, remediation and validation to WCAG 2.2 AA happen in real time, aligned to the New Zealand Government Web Accessibility Standard.
Same business day, real-time collaboration
Sydney is only two hours behind New Zealand, so our working days overlap almost completely. There is no waiting overnight for a reply and no awkward call times. You get a senior accessibility team you can reach during your own business hours, working at your pace across the Tasman.
Shared working hours
Meetings, walkthroughs and reviews happen during your day, not at the edges of it. Collaboration stays live and responsive.
Same-day turnaround
Questions answered and findings discussed within the same working day, so accessibility keeps pace with your delivery.

The New Zealand standards we work to
We help you evidence conformance against the frameworks your public sector buyers, regulators and legal teams reference.
NZ Government Web Accessibility Standard
Public service and non-public service departments must meet the Web Accessibility Standard, which requires conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We deliver the testing, remediation and evidence the standard requires.
NZ Government Web Usability Standard
Alongside accessibility, government websites must meet usability requirements covering content, navigation and contact information. We assess against both standards together.
Human Rights Act 1993 and the NZ Disability Strategy
Disability discrimination is unlawful, and the Disability Strategy and accessibility framework set the direction for inclusive services. Accessible digital experiences are central to meeting these expectations.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA
We test and remediate to the current WCAG 2.2 AA, which builds on the 2.1 AA referenced by the standard, so your evidence is current and stands up to scrutiny rather than passing an automated scan.
Why teams in New Zealand work with us
In your time zone
A near-identical business day means real-time collaboration, not overnight handoffs.
Independent evidence
Conformance reports produced by a party with no interest in passing carry weight in procurement and legal review.
Tested with real assistive technology
Screen readers, keyboard and voice, not automated tools alone. Most WCAG failures only surface through expert manual testing.
Delivery, not just advice
We remediate and validate, so issues are resolved and evidenced, not just listed in a report.
