Stakeholder Engagement Managers can provide guidance and advice regarding the requirements and completion of a proposal form. They can also provide information on work underway in your sector of interest and the various pathways for development.

1. Resourced through Standards Australia
‍This option makes use of our resources, expertise and infrastructure to develop standards. Stakeholders are required to commit and actively contribute to projects over a set period of time.
‍

2. Externally Funded
The Externally Funded pathway offers stakeholders access to additional services and administrative support through the standards development process. This may include:
‍

• Access to independent facilitators and technical writers to help with complex and/or contentious technical committee project work.
• Additional support for international participation.
• Standards development roadmap activities with stakeholder input to identify:
  

• Sponsorship of Standards Australia led forums and events

This pathway operates on a fee for service basis and by way of formal agreement with Standards Australia.

Note: The provision of external funding does not give the funding entity or any party preferential treatment or consideration in relation to the technical content and outcome of the standards development process. Standards Australia develops all Australian Standards in accordance with its Standardisation Guides, regardless of the source of funding.

Standards Australia now accepts all types of proposals at any time throughout the year.

Proposals that meet all key quality criteria will be assessed and resourced on a monthly basis.
