Government annual report designers in Canberra.
Federal, state and local government annual reports. Designed to be tabled, accessible and signed off by the Department of Finance.
Briefing a government report in Canberra? Here is what teams ask.
- Will the report meet the 31 October parliamentary tabling deadline?
Yes. Standard scope locks the milestones at kick-off so SES sign-off, ANAO audit clearance and Minister's office tabling brief all hit their windows.
- Can you align with PGPA Rule 17AG and the Department of Finance RMG?
Yes. Content mapped against the 17AG mandatory checklist, with the annual performance statement and financial statements designed to the RMG 135 template.
- Will the PDF pass WCAG 2.1 AA for federal publication?
Yes. Tagged, screen-reader tested in NVDA and VoiceOver, signed conformance statement. Federal Disability Discrimination Act and DTA accessibility expectations built in.
- Do you handle the accessible HTML version where required?
Yes. Accessible HTML annual report alongside the tagged PDF, designed against DTA Service Standard requirements.
- Have you delivered for Commonwealth entities before?
Yes. The studio has shipped PGPA Act compliant annual reports for federal departments, agencies and corporate Commonwealth entities. References available on request.
Three things we bring to a government brief in Canberra.
- 01
PGPA Act and 17AG fluency
We design every spread against the 17AG mandatory content list, with annual performance statements, financial statements and management of human resources sections built to the RMG template.
- 02
WCAG 2.1 AA mandatory baseline
Tagged, screen-reader tested PDFs against WCAG 2.1 AA. Federal publication baseline as a hard requirement, not a polish step.
- 03
Tabled and accessible
Tabling-ready PDF, accessible HTML where required, and plain English summary designed in one project.
Federal annual reports for Commonwealth departments, agencies and peak bodies. Designed against the PGPA Act 2013, PGPA Rule 17AG and the Department of Finance Resource Management Guides, ready to be tabled in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
