The AGIMO guidelines specify minimum A, preferably AA. http://webpublishing.agimo.gov.au/Accessibility

Aussie members in this list must be very proud of this law :-) Let's just hope no gold-digger lawyer sees an opportunity there! Is the requirement for this law higher per WCAG guidelines (A, AA, or AAA)? For example, Section 508 is really low standard in my opinion. tee 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).
