While the PDF/A file is the ISO format, doesn't Australia have their own, Microsoft pushing XML and other software vendors also suggest other formats ?  Particularly from a long term view it would be of humanities best interest to agree on a standard somehow that will be consistent (although that doesn't solve the problem that the physical storage like DVD and other media will deteriorate).
