    Accessibility

    Woolworths is committed to providing a website that adheres to accessibility standards.

    In building and maintaining the Woolworths website the following accessibility criteria are, where possible, followed.
    • In all possible cases use a web font so all text is easy to read.
    • Include alt tags for images to convey information.
    • Navigation through our websites works in a consistent way.
    • Position content in natural order.
    • Display which element has focus, for easier keyboard navigation.


    Here are a few hints to help access accessibility settings on the Woolworths website.

    1. Turn on accessibility setting

    If you are using a keyboard, screen reader or low vision user, it is recommended that "Accessibility" is turned on. By having this setting turned on, styles that enhance the visual presentation of the site are turned off. This setting does impact access to the site or products and service that are available.

    The Accessibility Setting can be reached via the "Accessibility Settings" link towards the very top of the page. Note that this link only becomes visible on keyboard focus.

    2. Skip links

    Links can be found at the top of every page. These links can be accessed when first tabbing on a page and will direct to a section of the site. The following areas can be navigated to directly from these links.

    • Content Navigation (Categories within a given page)
    • Main Content
    • Cart
    • Accessibility Settings

    3. Enlarge text and images on the site

    On a PC:
    1. Hold down the 'Ctrl' key and press '+' to enlarge.
    2. Hold down the 'Ctrl' key and press '-' to reduce.
    3. To reset hold down 'Ctrl' and press '0'.
    On an Apple Macintosh computer hold the 'Cmd' (Apple) key instead of 'Ctrl'.

    4. Search Tips

    A search box is located at the top of each page of the website. Tips for improving search results:
    • Use keywords, for example “Bread”, “Milk”
    • Enter a brand name to find products by that brand.
    • Narrow your results using the suggested search terms that appear based on your keyword. You can access these suggested terms by the Down and Up keys on your keyboard from the search box.
