Standards Australia has completed the second phase of the Proposal Portal upgrade, taking onboard feedback from contributors and stakeholders.

The Microsoft Word proposal forms will be retired as of 23 November 2023 and proposals are to be submitted through the new online proposal portal. From this date, Standards Australia will no longer accept project proposals in Microsoft Word-based forms.

The online portal is a transparent, streamlined and easy-to-use method that directly integrates with other Standards Australia systems, enables an efficient stakeholder consultation process, and moves away from outdated, manual processes.

Should you require any assistance with the Project Proposal Portal please contact standards via this email address.‍

Standards Australia undertook a Technical Governance Review with its stakeholders, highlighting the need for a modern, best-practice solution to manage the submission of proposals to amend, revise or adopt Standards in Australia.
