Disability Discrimination Act (Australia) Compliance Checker
Australian federal law making it unlawful to discriminate in the provision of goods, services, and information — including websites.
What is DDA?
The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) is Australian federal law making it unlawful to discriminate against people with disabilities in the provision of goods, services, and information. The landmark Maguire v SOCOG case established that websites fall under the Act. The Australian Human Rights Commission's Advisory Notes specifically recommend WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the benchmark for web content. Government websites must also comply with the Digital Service Standard, which mandates WCAG 2.1 AA.
Who Needs to Comply?
- All Australian federal, state, and local government websites
- Businesses providing goods or services to the Australian public
- Online retailers, banks, telcos, and service providers
- Educational institutions at all levels
