    The Digital Experience Policy mandates 4 standards to put people and business at the centre of government through our digital services. The Digital Access Standard is one of them. 

    When we design and deliver digital services, we can ensure that people easily discover and use them by meeting the Standard's 5 criteria.

    1. Understand how users already access government services to make the most of existing access points.
    2. Understand what capabilities you need to support your new service. 
    3. Explore and discover reusable capabilities and platforms on the Australian Government architecture. 
    4. Use the relevant decision-making framework to decide if you need to create a new access point or reuse an existing one. 
    5. Build a trusted, collaborative partnership with your stakeholders, service providers and other government agencies.

    As the Australian Government continuously improves its digital services, these criteria ensure it's easy for people to discover, access and move between the services important to them. So, ready to design, deliver and set the standard? Search 'Digital Access Standard' on digital.gov.au.

    The Digital Experience Policy mandates 4 standards to put people and business at the centre of government through our digital services. The Digital Service Standard is one of them. The Standard's criteria ensure that we create and provide reliable digital services. They ask us to set clear goals, know who are building for and challenge our own assumptions about their needs.

    They encourage interoperability, intuitive and transparent user experiences, and to reuse what people are familiar with and works well. They require us to put people's rights first, to innovate where it makes sense, and to continuously measure, gather feedback and improve. As the Australian Government continuously improves its digital services, these criteria ensure we build and maintain them to put people's needs first.

    Technology, the internet and online services are available to more people than ever. So, it's no surprise that most of us choose to access government services through digital channels. People expect online services to be simple and seamless to use, but that isn't always the case. As the Australian Government delivers digital services, the Digital Experience Policy ensures they meet people's expectations and needs in a consistent way.

    To do this, the policy mandates 4 standards: 

    1. The Digital Service Standard, which establishes how government services should be designed and delivered. 
    2. The Digital Performance Standard, to monitor, report and improve on the quality of digital services. 
    3. The Digital Access Standard, making sure services are easy to discover and access in a seamless way. 
    4. And finally, the Digital Inclusion Standard, ensuring the people who need government services most won't be left behind.

    Digital services should work for people ahead of how government is structured. That's why the standards focus on how we meet user needs and expectations. And, because they're outcomes based, they allow us to choose techniques and technology which work best for people's needs. It all adds up to simple, seamless digital services for all people and business, an important outcome of the Data and Digital Government Strategy.
