The difficulty accessing standards due to the high cost has been noted. Esp. where a standard is referenced in legislation but not freely available. I think SAIGlobal have a couple of years left on their contract, but after that who knows what will happen. I have read an inquiry that suggested the Commonwealth may as well fund Standards Australia due to the aggregate cost of subscriptions paid for at the various levels of government.
For the most part though, Australian Standards are not mandatory, so it makes bugger all difference if you comply or not.
