Quick answer

What is a WCAG 2.2 accessibility audit?

A WCAG 2.2 accessibility audit is a structured review of a digital product against the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to identify barriers for users with disability. ExceedAbility audits combine automated testing, manual expert review, and assistive-technology testing - and produce a prioritised report with remediation guidance and a re-test on fixes.

Common questions about accessibility audits

Plain answers to the questions buyers ask us most often.

How long does an accessibility audit take?

For a typical Australian Government website, expect 3-6 weeks from kick-off to final report, depending on page count and template variation. A focused mobile app or single web product typically takes 3-4 weeks.

What standards does ExceedAbility audit against?

We audit against WCAG 2.2 Level AA by default - the standard required by the Australian Digital Service Standard and most state government accessibility policies. We also audit to WCAG 2.2 AAA, EN 301 549, Section 508 and PDF/UA on request.

What does an ExceedAbility audit deliverable include?

Audit deliverables include a detailed findings report with WCAG-tagged prioritised issues, a conformance level assessment, an executive summary, developer-friendly fix recommendations with code examples, a remediation roadmap with effort estimates, and VPAT or accessibility statement content suitable for public publication.

Will the audit hold up to a Disability Discrimination Act complaint?

Our audit reports document evidence and methodology to a standard suitable for compliance review and are routinely cited in Australian Government accessibility statements, public reporting and remediation planning. Independence and traceable evidence are core to how each audit is structured.

Do you re-test fixes after remediation?

Yes. A re-test of remediated issues is included in our standard audit engagement. Once your team confirms fixes are deployed we re-test against the same WCAG criteria and update the conformance documentation to reflect the validated post-remediation position.
