The Round Table was established in 1981 as an indirect product of the Second National Seminar on Library Services for People with Print Disabilities, under the auspices of the National Library of Australia's Advisory Council on Library Services for People with Print Disabilities.

The Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities is an association comprising of organisations involved in the production, distribution and use of alternative format materials such as Braille, audio, large print and electronic text.

Round Table's strength is the diversity of knowledge and experience in the production and use of alternate format materials embodied in its members. Round Table members can draw on this in-depth experience to assist them in the production and use of alternate formats, as well as to represent perspectives on the accessibility of material. Members are encouraged to network and share their experience to improve the quality and further availability of alternate format materials.
