The Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC)
Section 67(1)(k) of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 ("the DDA")
2.2 Equal Access is Required by Law
The provision of information and online services through the Worldwide
Web is a service covered by the DDA. Equal access for people with a
disability in this area is required by the DDA where it can reasonably
be provided. This requirement applies to any individual or organisation
developing a Worldwide Web page in Australia, or placing or maintaining
a Web page on an Australian server. This includes pages developed or
maintained for purposes relating to employment; education; provision of
services including professional services, banking, insurance or
financial services, entertainment or recreation, telecommunications
services, public transport services, or government services; sale or
rental of real estate; sport; activities of voluntary associations; or
administration of Commonwealth laws or programs. All these are areas
specifically covered by the DDA.
In addition to these specific areas, provision of any other information
or other goods, services or facilities through the Internet is in itself
a service, and as such, discrimination in the provision of this service
is covered by the DDA. The DDA applies to services whether provided for
payment or not.
