• Why do Australian Standards matter?

  Standards matter to me because I believe they are the common ground by which we communicate.
  Quite critical to all levels of the community.
  The common reference point.
  I absolutelty think that standards matter to Australians, they matter to everyone, really.
  There's beneficiaries all round.
  As businesses, as individuals, as a society and as a country.
  In our mobile phone, there are so many standards, you wouldn't even be able to enumerate them.
  Standards are exciting.
  They are the place that we can bring a lot of different agendas together, agree, and move forward with how do we actually implement what is required of us. 
  Standards are important.
  They're not just pieces of paper we publish, but they are actually the result of a consensus.
  And standards are what gives people confidence and trust.
  The fact that you put Australian Standard on a document, I think Australians know this has got some rigour behind it.

  we all show up to work for the same reason
  to positively impact Australian life
  We have been making Australian communities safer, helping our economy grow and connecting our nation to the world for almost 100 years.
  So if you’re expecting something standard, think again.

• Connect

  Connect is going to be amazing for Committee Members because it's a one stop shop.
  
  It's a seamless, single log on to all Standards Australia's applications
  
  It gives me a macro view of all the projects that the committee is working on 
  
  And what statuses the projects are up to
  
  The inspiration behind Connect is to consolidate and enhance our existing systems and to provide a much more seamless contribution experience
  
  What's great about Connect is that it combines Hub, Public Comment, Balloting and SIM all in one place
  
  It's on that one page; crisp, clear.
  
  I am so excited that we are finally releasing Connect because it's going to be such a great solution for Committee Members
  
  Connect will be a simpler, faster, better, integrated system for all users.
  
  And with the help of our contributors, it can only get better.
