My understanding is government agencies submitted self-assessments in 2011, 2014
and 2017.
-
What assessments have been undertaken since the Web Accessibility Standard
1.1 & Web Usability Standard 1.3 came into effect on 1 July 2019?
-
Has the Government Chief Digital Officer produced a schedule of assessment for
these previously assessed agencies, agencies outside the original scope, or a
selected sample of agencies going forth?.”
Please find attached copies of the 30 web standards self-assessments provided to the
Department in 2017-2018.
Regarding the final two points of your request, no assessments have been undertaken since
the Web Accessibility Standard 1.1 and Web Usability Standard 1.3 came into effect on 1 July
2019. The Government Chief Digital Officer has not produced a schedule of assessment for
previously assessed agencies going forward.
