All Charles Sturt University staff are required to complete a Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF) Mandatory Course online during May.
Here is HESF Standard 7.2.1 “Accurate, relevant and timely information for students is publicly available and accessible, including access for students with special needs, to enable informed decision making about educational offerings and experiences.” The HESF standards can be found here: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2022C0010
Here is information from the CSU course:
"HESF Compliance - A Joint Enterprise. We all contribute to HESF compliance at the University. It is not the role of one team or person to manage our HESF compliance obligations. Each of us are experts in our area of work and are therefore best placed to understand and implement the necessary processes in that area, which enhance HESF compliance. It is also important to remember that HESF compliance is not a ‘once in a while’ action or 'someone else's job'. It is a requirement of our registration as a higher education provider, that compliance with HESF be maintained by all of us and at all times. It should be an every day activity."
It is likely that many other universities are doing this too - but I think that CSU may be the only one whose course materials contains sheep!
