Accessibility FOI 24/25-0970
Accessibility is everyone’s responsibility. Accessibility means everyone can join in and get information.
The Agency has set Minimum Standards for Accessibility that outline the expectations of how you should make your communications accessible.
You should think about accessibility from the start of any project. Fixing inaccessible documents is time consuming and sometimes expensive. The templates on the intranet are accessible, so please use them. The Accessibility Hub on the intranet pulls together all the tools and resources you need to make sure the way you communicate is accessible to everyone. It also has a list of suppliers who can help you. For a brief overview of accessibility and colour, see page 22. For a brief overview of accessibility and images, see page 32.

Logos FOI 24/25-0970 Agency signoff use
Although it is our preference to only use the standard NDIS logo on external communications to avoid confusion, there are times when it is appropriate to acknowledge that the communication is from the Agency. Agency signoff logo
The Agency should be acknowledged in:
• NDIA letterhead
• staff email signatures
• corporate reports (annual report, corporate report, quarterly report, NDIS Board reports).
You can acknowledge the Agency by using the ‘Agency signoff’. This is a complimentary brand component developed specifically for this use.
• You can only use the Agency signoff in conjunction with the standard NDIS logo.
• In some cases it may be ok to separate the logo with the text in this lock-up. Please contact s47E(d) - certain operations of agencies if you think this is required.

Logos FOI 24/25-0970 Internal business area and project logos
Logos should not be created for individual business areas or projects.
The NDIA is a complex organisation with a range of ongoing projects and priorities, however we all share the same vision and branding requirements. Adding logos for individual business areas or projects adds confusion and noise to an already crowded and complex environment.
There are some instances where a logo may be justified. You must seek written approval from the s47E(d) - certain operations of agencies prior to creating logos.

Partner organisations may use a co-branded logo lock-up to acknowledge their role as an NDIS partner.
There are two different formatting options for an NDIS partner logo lock-up, allowing you to choose the best option for the design you’re creating. The Partners in the Community Communication Guidelines on the intranet will show you:
• how to use the two different formatting options – horizontal and vertical
• formatting options for black and white logos
• how to apply an NDIS Partner logo lock-up to your collateral.
These lock-ups are included in templates that you can download from the PITC Co-branded Templates page on the intranet.

Typography FOI 24/25-0970 Usage
This is how to use typography with the NDIS brand. Example of heading levels
• Create hierarchy within your documents by using different weights of the font. As a minimum, your text should be:
• main heading: bold, 20 point
• heading level 2: bold, 14 point
• body text: regular, 11 point (1.15-1.5 line spacing, 12 point between paragraphs).
• Sentence case is the preferred style for type. This means the only capital letters are those at the start of sentences.
• Body text in long documents should be black.
• The NDIS templates on the intranet are accessible. If you follow the set heading styles in the templates, they will display the correct heading hierarchy.
