The same channels may be used to request access to unavailable information or to submit a request for accessibility support.
Everyone has the right to request digital accessibility of a website, mobile application or any of their elements. You may also request that information be provided in an alternative format, for example by having a digitally inaccessible document read aloud or by receiving a description of the content of a video that does not include audio description. A request should include:
The public body should fulfil the request without undue delay and no later than within 7 days of receiving it. If this deadline cannot be met, the public body shall immediately inform the requester when the request can be fulfilled. This period may not exceed 2 months. Where accessibility cannot be ensured, the public body may propose an alternative means of accessing the information.
If a request for accessibility or alternative access to information is refused, a complaint may be submitted regarding such refusal.
After exhausting all available remedies, a complaint may also be submitted to the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman).

Access from the pavement is provided by means of a wide ramp.
