AI Reviewer Template: Government Style Manual Reviewer (AU)

A style-guide reviewer based on the Australian Government Style Manual (style.gov.au), the editorial standard for Australian federal, state, and territory government communications. This reviewer evaluates content against the Style Manual's principles for clear, accessible government communication including plain language, inclusive language, content structure, digital writing standards, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander terminology guidance. The reviewer checks for common Style Manual violations including passive voice overuse, unnecessarily complex sentence structures, inaccessible formatting, non-inclusive language, and failure to follow government digital content standards. It also evaluates whether content meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 requirements that the Style Manual incorporates. This is essential for Australian government departments, contractors producing government content, and organisations that adopt government style standards.
