Australian Government departments and agencies are 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, lower speed internet connections or use of assistive technology.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is committed to ensuring this web site meets best practice guidelines and the priority one requirements of the World Wide Web Consortium Content Accessibility Guidelines. The Jobwise web site has been designed to make the site accessible to the widest range of people in the community, 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 the Jobwise web site cannot provide documents in html format.

PDF files

Portable Document Format (PDF) is the open de facto standard for electronic document distribution worldwide. Adobe PDF is a universal file format that preserves all of the fonts, formatting, colours, and graphics of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. Adobe PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as intended by anyone with the free Adobe Acrobat Software.

This format has been employed due to the nature of the documents, and the requirement for preserving their integrity. Wherever possible, documents in PDF format also have a version in Rich Text Format.
