Accessibility

Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, Australian Government agencies are required to ensure that information and services are provided in a non-discriminatory and accessible manner.

Government websites are expected to conform to Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0 AA) as a requirement of the Web Accessibility National Transition Strategy – PDF and the Australian Government’s Digital Service Standard.
