Help shape the future Standards Australia
01 July 2019
A once in a generation opportunity
has presented itself to Australian industry, consumers, businesses, and
the broader community with
Standards Australia seeking input on how it
distributes content.
Following an important arbitration win supporting Standards Australia’s
position that future distribution of its content will not be on an
exclusive basis, Standards Australia has been working towards opening up
access to its content with the needs of our stakeholders and users front
of mind.
“As an organisation, we have been working to make Australian communities
safer, help our economy grow and connect our nation to the world for
close to 100 years. This decision late last year has enabled us to take
even more steps towards opening up access to our content,” said Adam
Stingemore, General Manager Strategy and Engagement.
This process will include comprehensive consultation in each capital
city across Australia seeking views on our Distribution and Licensing
Policy Discussion Paper, which has been released today.
“Heading to each capital city in coming weeks will enable us to canvass
the views of industry, community groups, business, governments,
students, and apprentices and to hear firsthand what has worked well and
what can improve in the future,” said Mr Stingemore.
“This is an exciting step towards delivering greater value and improving
access to
Australian Standards, to be taken following careful
consideration ensuring Standards Australia’s long term sustainability
and the ability to increase the reach and relevance of our content
across Australia.”
