Standards & Guidelines

Standards are legally binding regulations set by the Attorney-General under the DDA.

Guidelines (or ‘Advisory Notes’) are issued by the Commission to help people and organisations understand their rights and comply with their responsibilities under the DDA and accompanying Standards.
