Presumably also all website which are accessed by Australians, as an Australian could complain to Aust Human Rights Commission about being discriminated against if website is not accessible.   Evan Bailey A/Manager Knowledge Sharing Services Learning Initiatives and TAFE Services Centre for Learning Innovation   Locked Bag 2006, Strathfield NSW 2135 P: (02) 9715 8130 F: (02) 9715 8237  E: evan.bai...@det.nsw.edu.au NSW Department of Education and Training www.cli.nsw.edu.au      From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of Sue Choong Sent: Friday, 6 August 2010 9:31 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Accessibility in Australia   Is it mandatory for all australian websites to be accessible or does this only apply to government websites?   Just a little confused after reading article below which only mentioned government sites.   Http://bit.ly/dddhz8    Thanks in advance.    Sue On 06/08/2010, at 9:06 AM, Josh Godsiff <j...@oxideinteractive.com.au> wrote: On 5/8/2010 8:03 PM, Foskett, Mike wrote:   The scenario I'm thinking of is JS available but no CSS, either unavailable or switched off.   Unless you're working on some sort of project where there's a high likelyhood that that will occur, don't bother - in the real world, the number of people with a JS-on CSS-off configuration is probably less than 0.5%. - Josh Godsiff -- oxideinteractive.com.au ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ******************************************************************* ********************************************************************** This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain privileged information or confidential information or both.
