Yo if you ever find a good source PLEASE tell me, this is a constant struggle for me too, I will return the favour

I'll keep it in mind. It's so weird how gated it is

your local library should have them or if you ask they can get them for you or tell you where you can access them.

They are starting to make them more accessible, for example, see here for actually free, official access to the standards but with a few caveats.

Thanks! My brief adventures into the TAFE library and my university's library's website searches were unsuccessful!
