Accessibility worldwide, that is where the first legal cases arose and the industry that got the most attention from ADAAG plus the Air Carrier Access Act: WCAG Level AA was first mandated for that industry, many other industries use that as the minimum bar so as to mitigate the risk of being sued. | |

Which country do you think is the gold standard for accessibility? I do think that the US Government Design System is better than the GOV UK and Australian Government Design Systems, but it is not an exact science when it comes to comparing these things. | |
| Feb 10, 2020 at 6:00 | comment | added | straya | @MichaelLai Australian federal goverment websites require Level A (being upgraded to Level AA over time, meaning it is too hard for most of them), they say that in some cases it will be Level AAA. Government apps are all Level A at best (find me an app that works in landscape!). Australia isn't a good example for Accessibility implementations. | |

| May 3, 2016 at 1:23 | comment | added | Michael Lai♦ | In Australia there are federal legislations in place to ensure government websites meet the AA level (and AAA where appropriate), but I am not aware of any requirements for commercial websites. | |
