Meeting Government Standards
When building a website for Australian National, State, and local Governments, government
agencies must consider accessibility, security, and privacy. Accessibility is a crucial requirement
mandated by the Australian Government, with agencies required to meet the Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA and encouraged to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
By addressing these factors, we help government agencies meet the specific requirements in
Australia for their website. We help government entities design a site that is accessible to all users,
secure, and provides a seamless user experience.

Accessibility
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) serve as 
a comprehensive set of rules designed to promote the creation of accessible websites. These guidelines are particularly significant in Australia, where the government has mandated that all its websites must adhere to WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards.
These guidelines operate on four foundational principles, namely making content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. WCAG elaborates specific recommendations for various types of content like text, images, audio, video, and forms.
How We Help
We help government agencies with website accessibility by ensuring that their websites comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA or WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which are mandated by the Australian government.

Design
We help government agencies in Australia by providing expertise 
in website design, development, and implementation. We work with
government stakeholders to understand their specific needs and
requirements, and develop a website design that meets those
needs while also complying with government standards and
guidelines.
We also provide guidance on best practices for accessibility,
usability, and user-centered design, ensuring that the website 
is easy to navigate and use for all users, including those with
disabilities.
Design Principles
When designing a website for Australian government agencies, simplicity and usability are key design principles. The website should have a clear hierarchy of information and a consistent layout and design to make it easy to navigate.
The Australian Government Design System (AGDS) provides a standardised set of design templates for government websites, including typography, colour, and layout.
Security
Australian government agencies prioritise website security due to handling sensitive information and the risk of cyber attacks. Adhering to standards such as the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and the Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) can help agencies implement security controls.
Government agencies must also stay up-to-date with the latest security threats and vulnerabilities by regularly monitoring their websites for security issues, applying patches and updates, and conducting regular security testing and assessments.

Functionality
We help government agencies with website functionality by ensuring that their websites meet accessibility, usability, and other functionality standards.
