The organisation also offers a university-accredited online degree called the Professional Certificate in Web Accessibility (P.C.W.A.), which is taught in six-week modules.

M.A.A. provides information about technological solutions, such as audio description and captioning, to make audio-visual media, including streaming services, TV, cinema, DVDs and new media, accessible to people with disabilities. M.A.A supports improvements in media access in Australia towards best practice by identifying technological solutions and ways to implement them.

M.A.A. works with consumer organisations; Government and industry in Australia and internationally.
