Demystifying Australian Standards – how to participate, our process, and new ways to access our publications

Standards Australia has been developing standards and other publications nationally and internationally for over 100 years. More than ever, the community relies on these publications for its safety and a more sustainable and resilient future. The work we do in the Built environment is vital in an ever-changing world, and our committee work in the Fire sector is at the forefront of these activities.

 Standards Australia has made significant changes to the way it distributes its standards and other Australian publications to provide easier and cheaper access to its users. From PDFs to industry bundles, and now with the new Mobile App, the Australian community has more ways than ever to access these vital documents. This presentation will provide an update on the various ways you can access Standards Australia’s publications, as well as explain our process and how you can get involved in our committees’ vital work.
