Does a children’s service need to purchase a copy of the relevant standards?
No, children’s services do not need to purchase these standards. They contain complex detail, used mostly by manufacturers and designers of play spaces and play equipment. This guide and Playgrounds and Recreation Association of Victoria (PRAV) (see Information and References section) should be able to provide a children’s service with enough information. If desired, the standards are available for purchase from Standards Australia. They may also be available from municipal libraries.
