Accessibility

The Productivity Commission is committed to ensuring that the information on its website is widely accessible.

If you experience problems, accessing pages or reading/downloading files, contact the Web Editor for assistance.

Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files

Most reports on the Commission's website are published as Adobe PDF files. You can read these files using the free Adobe Reader.

Adobe also offers support with various tools which can convert PDF files to HTML or text through email or a web browser.  

Listening to PDFs

Some Adobe PDFs on this website can be automatically read out loud. However, you need sound on your computer and a recent version of the Adobe Reader (Version 8). Open the PDF document and select the ‘View’ option on the Adobe Reader toolbar. Then select the ‘read out loud’ command if available. Adobe offers assistance with using this feature.

Translating and Interpreting Service

The Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) is available for people who do not speak English and for English speakers needing to communicate with them. TIS is a national service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is accessible from anywhere in Australia for the cost of a local call.
