Is there anything glaringly obvious that I've missed or got wrong? Thanks Belinda ;)

NSW arts-related agencies got together to make a group application (included Aust Museum, State Library, Historic Houses, Art Gallery and others ?). Also, I think it's important to note that regardless of whether an agency receives an exemption (or partial exemption), they must comply with the accessibility requirements. I cannot say what will happen in future to evolve the directive, but I know GCIO are keen to add more people to the reference group for this project. If you're working in a nsw.gov agency and want to join this reference group to provide your feedback and ideas, contact Dana at GCIO for more info.

It wasn't clear that an exemption still required accessibility compliance, I'm glad it does. That makes complete sense. Oh thanks for that clarification Belinda.
