The Australian Human Rights Commission, in partnership with Intopia, is updating its Disability Discrimination Act Web Advisory Note. The current version of the Note (version 4.1) is from 2014 and can be accessed here.
The purpose of the document is to guide people and organisations to make their websites and other web resources accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disability. The review will bring the document in line with contemporary digital environment and practices. As such, it will extend the advice to encompass digital accessibility across a wide range of platforms beyond websites and web-based content.
Draft for comment
A updated draft is published for comment and input from individuals and organisations with relevant background and expertise in digital accessibility and lived experience of disability.
The draft is available in accessible PDF (441KB) and Word (138KB).
