What it does
Vision Australia Library provides audio, braille and other accessible reading materials. Free membership requires Australian residence and a qualifying print disability.
Have the details of a referrer ready when joining: the library asks for someone who can certify the print disability. Once eligible, choose the accessible format that suits the reader rather than assuming every book has the same delivery options. The library also offers members a defined allowance for converting personal print information into accessible formats.
The personal-information conversion allowance is up to 360 print pages per financial year, with formats such as braille, audio, large print or e-text. That member service is separate from borrowing an existing title.
