Our approach to web accessibility
The Australian Government is committed to the principles of open government, including providing accessible web information, content and services to all Australians regardless of disability, culture or environment. The Digital Transformation Agency Digital Service Standard establishes the criteria that Australian Government digital services must meet to ensure our services are simpler, faster and easier to use.
We aim to meet the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) AA level web standard, which has been endorsed by the Australian Government.
Where possible our website includes an HTML version. Large publications are provided as accessible PDF files and Word files. Older documents may not meet these standards.
Documents received from external parties may not be tagged or have an alternative format available and therefore may not be accessible to users with assistive technologies.
