Ben, AGIMO publishes guidelines that cover some of what you asked for - it is up to individual organisations as to which guidelines they follow and how far - it shouldn't be that way but it is. Each organisation that I've worked in over the last 25 years in Government has had their own writing standards - and since there has been a web, their own web content/usability/accessibility standards in one form or another. Most are compliant in some way or another with WCAG 1.0 - but this is based on interpretation, and these interpretations vary between organisations.
Privacy is looked after by the Australian Privacy Commissioner ( http://www.privacy.gov.au/). An study of the Australian Government web standards environment is not complete without examining the role of the Australian Human Rights Commission (http://www.hreoc.gov.au). One of the Commissioners, Graeme Innes, has put the lot of us on notice - he will (to use his words) "name and shame" organisations that have inaccessible sites. He has started this already.
