Accessibility statement

​​​​​​​​​Accessibility statement

At Queensland Rail Travel, we're on a mission to improve accessibility with tools and resources designed to help get you on your way. We understand that everybody’s journey is different.   

Around one third of our customers have a disability, with varying accessibility requirements and levels of independence, so it is important that we cater for these customers, by making ​​this website accessible for everyone, including those using assistive technologies.

The goal is to reach the widest audience possible and follow the principles outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA (opens in new tab). We are working to continuously improve both the accessibility and user experience of this website.

Known issues​
