Australia-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Australia have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

Privacy Act 1988 (Australian Privacy Principles), amended in 2024: The Spam Act 2003 requires consent and an unsubscribe option for marketing email and SMS.
Prices shown to consumers must include GST (10%).
The Disability Discrimination Act makes WCAG accessibility a practical requirement.
