The Australian Government Digital Service Standard ensures government websites and digital services are accessible, user-friendly, and meet inclusive design requirements for all users, including those with diverse abilities.
The Australian Government Digital Service Standard sets out best practices for delivering digital services that are user-centric, accessible, and effective. Accessibility is a core principle, ensuring government digital services are inclusive for all Australians, including those with disabilities.
Government digital services must comply with WCAG 2.0 or 2.1 Level AA standards. The Standard emphasizes continuous user testing, accessibility audits, and iterative improvements. Agencies must provide accessible content, ensure compatibility with assistive technologies, and maintain transparency through accessibility statements.
All Australian government departments and agencies delivering digital services are required to adhere to this Standard.
