Tee,

the Disability Discrimination Act (here in Oz) does not actually specify the
level of compliance according to WCAG. HREOC and AGIMO (google these) make
some interpretations of the Act that are again interpreted by individual
government bodies - I think it is fair to say that accessibility standards
in Australia aren't (standard).

Cheers, Andrew
