The one we already have: Web Accessibility National Transition
Strategy (NTS) http://webguide.gov.au/accessibility-usability/accessibility/

"The full scope of the upgrade required (including issues of
retrospectivity) is discussed in the NTS. Briefly:

WCAG 2.0 conformance is required on all websites owned and/or operated
by government under any domain. This includes external (public-facing
or private) and internal (closed community) sites. That is,
conformance is required for all internet, intranet and extranet sites.
All websites and web content created after July 2010 must meet at
least WCAG 2.0 Single A by 31 December 2012.
Websites and web content created before July 2010 that will be
archived or decommissioned before December 2012 are not required to
meet WCAG 2.0.
Any web content created before July 2010 that is no longer current,
but that is still important and/or popular and not yet appropriate for
archival, should remain WCAG 1.0 conformant. Where this type of
content is not WCAG 1.0 conformant, agencies should upgrade to WCAG
2.0."
