4.2.4 AustraliaSince 1986 in Australia the Human Rights and Equal OpportunityCommission has been working. It is an independent national regulatorygovernmental body. It was established by a Federal Parliamentary Act, theHuman Rights and Equal Opportunity Act.Regarding the legislation concerning the disabled, in 1992 the AustralianDisability Discrimination Act was passed, in order to protect the disabled andensure that they have the same rights. 6Section 24 refers to Goods, Services and Facilities, stating that it is unlawfulfor anyone providing this type of service to discriminate against disabledpeople on the condition that it does not impose unjustifiable hardship on theperson who provides the goods, services or makes the facilities available.In terms of standards, in 1990 Australia drew up a standard referring to accessand use of automatic cashpoint machines. It studied the main difficulties thatthe disabled encounter, and made a series of recommendations.In 2000 the Commission produced a report to detect accessibility problemsregarding e-commerce, which included automatic cashpoint machines,telephone banking, internet banking and PST (Point of Sale Terminals). Itshowed quite clearly that there were serious problems with all of them.As a result the Accessible E-Commerce Forum was held, attended byrepresentatives of the government, banks, manufacturers and many entitiesconnected to the question. The aim was to make people aware of thesituations and look for ways of improving it.The Australian Bankers Association confirmed its involvement andestablished a working team and a plan of action to develop standardsrelating to e-commerce. The work concluded in April 2002. 7From this initiative the standards have been taken on board by the majorityof the larger banks in Australia and the automatic cashpoint machines aregradually being replaced.In 2000 the HumanRights and EqualOpportunityCommission ofAustralia produceda report fordetectingaccessibilityproblems in e-commerce, whichincludedautomaticcashpointmachines,telephonebanking, internetbanking and PST(Points of SaleTerminals).6 More information at < http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/pasteact/0/311/top.htm>7 Available online at < http://www.bankers.asn.au/Default.aspx?ArticleID=344>ADAPTABILITY OF CASHPOINTS FOR THE DISABLED17
