Large Print/Braille Embossing Now Available To Tourism/Hospitality Industry

Australia For All Alliance – a hard-working community group made up of people with disabilities and their carers – now has a braille embosser which can emboss both sides of an A4 sheet of paper.

Targetting Clubs And Restaurants

Restaurants are starting to realise that there are many visually impaired people in our community and that they would prefer to read flyers and menus themselves.

Large print will also help diners who find it difficult to read the small print often found on menus.

Australia For All aims to have both braille and large print menus available in as many clubs and restaurants as possible.

The Cost

The cost of supplying braille and large print copies of menus will be $30.00 a set.

If it’s likely that menu prices will change within six months, restaurant owners could have the menus produced without the cost of the individual meals shown.
