Australian Braille Authority
What we do
The Australian Braille Authority oversees the development and maintenance of Braille codes and specifications used in Australia. In May 2005, we adopted Unified English Braille for use throughout Australia. We have begun the transition to UEB, which should be complete within 5 years.
Our structure and objectives
The Australian Braille Authority (ABA) is a sub-committee of the Round Table on Information Access for People with Print Disabilities Inc.
The ABA is managed by an executive committee, and has state and territory branches.
The ABA Executive Committee meets regularly by teleconference, and usually once per year in person for detailed consideration of priority issues.
The ABA was established in 1982 and operates with these objectives. The ABA's terms of reference were last revised in 1992.
