About the NPI
The Australian Government is obliged by the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 to ensure that online information and services are accessible by people with disabilities. There is also the requirement to make online resources accessible to those people with technical constraints, such as older browsers and lower speed internet connections.
The Department of the Environment and Heritage web site is committed to meeting best practice guidelines and the priority one requirements of the World Wide Web Consortium Content Accessibility Guidelines. Significant redesign has been undertaken in order to meet the Government Online standards that relate to access for people with disabilities or technical constraints with their browsers and internet connections.
For technical reasons and to meet some legal requirements, the Department of the Environment and Heritage web site has a limited number of documents that cannot be provided in html format. In such cases, contact details have been provided for the supply of alternative non-web formats.
If you encounter accessibility difficulties with the the Department of the Environment and Heritage web site, please inform the NPI Web Site Manager or by writing to:
