DDA 1992 (Australia)

- Applies to
- Australia

Disability Discrimination Act 1992
What it asks for
- Services, including websites, do not discriminate against people with disabilities.
How AccessFold helps
- Accessibility diagnostics and evidence against WCAG 2.1 A and AA.
What this does not cover
- The baseline comes from guidance and policy, not from the statute.
AccessFold provides diagnostics and evidence relevant to this framework. It does not determine compliance.
