This website

We are building kaldos.cafe to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That is the target we are working to, not a certificate we are claiming. What is true of the site today:

• Semantic HTML and landmarks. Real headings in order, real lists, a single <main>, navigation and footer marked up as such, so screen readers can move around by structure.
• A skip link. The first thing you reach with the Tab key is “Skip to content”.
• Keyboard navigable. Every link, button and control can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone. There are no mouse-only interactions.
• Visible focus. Whatever the keyboard is on is clearly outlined. We have not removed focus styles anywhere.
• Alt text on images. Meaningful images have real descriptions; decorative ones are hidden from assistive technology rather than read out as noise.
• Reduced motion respected. If your system asks for reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion), the site honours it.
• Text you can control. The layout is responsive and reflows when you zoom or enlarge text.

This is an ongoing effort, not a finished job. We will keep testing, and when we find something broken we will fix it rather than explain it.

The building — we do not know yet, and we will not guess

The Fremantle premises are still being fitted out, and we are not going to publish physical access information we have not verified.

That means we are not telling you today whether the entrance is step-free, how wide the doors are, what the path around to the rear entrance is like underfoot, or what the toilet facilities will be. We do not have confirmed answers, and a wrong answer here is not a small mistake — it is somebody making a trip they cannot complete. We would rather say we don't know yet than say something reassuring and untrue.

What we will do: publish the real physical access details before we open, on this page and on the visit page — checked, and written by someone who has actually walked it.

In the meantime, if you need to know something specific before you come, please ask us. Ringing to ask about access is not an imposition. It is the most useful thing you can do, and it tells us what to fix.

If something here blocks you

If any part of this website is difficult or impossible for you to use — a control you cannot reach, text you cannot read, something a screen reader mangles — tell us. We will treat it as a fault, because it is one. Call 0439 999 409 and describe what happened and what you were using.

Kaltora's border officer has never refused anyone entry — refusal is not within the powers of the office. It would be embarrassing if the door were less generous than the paperwork. Nolku vada etsin. Nobody leaves hungry.
