5208 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Media and Communications: What is the current level of compliance, if any, within the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, with NZ Government Web Standards, which require public sector websites to be accessible?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that the entities that I am responsible for are continually working to improve accessibility on all public websites. The Centralised Web Accessibility Checker monitoring programme publishes quarterly data on accessibility scores for government websites, and a leaderboard, which can be found here: https://www.digital.govt.nz/standards-and-guidance/nz-government-web-standards/centralised-web-accessibility-checker-cwac
