About the site

Since the web site's launch in early 2000, its information content has continued to be built to make it more relevant to the Monash community. Additions to the site have been guided by feedback from site visitors and analysis of search requests. It is updated on a daily basis.

The site has been constructed under the principles of "usability", where ease of navigation and quick download times for users are the major considerations. The site complies with the World Wide Web Accessibility Guidelines as advised by the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission. The guidelines are aimed at ensuring that people with disabilities, the aged, people with colour blindness, low literacy levels and those with technical constraints can use on-line resources. Audio news reports are published on the site and service information in the four-major CALD languages is also featured.

New look - February 2007

A review of the site has been done to improve navigation within the site and upgrade coding to make the site accessible to different platforms and devices (such as mobile phones and other hand held devices).

The site has also been designed to comply with the New World Wide Web Accessibility Guidelines recently announced by the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative.

Maps Online

Responding to "Online Services Survey" requests, a new interactive mapping tool has been added. Monash Maps now has more detailed information regarding the location of facilities and features within the City, and also aerial photographs of the City of Monash.
