The Australian Government has released the Data and Digital Government Strategy (the Strategy), setting a clear vision for delivering simple, secure and connected public services, for all people and business, through world class data and digital capabilities.
Now, for the first time, the Australian Government has a unified blueprint, through 2030, for how it will deliver upon this commitment and maximise the value of its data and digital activities.
The Strategy was informed by extensive consultations with people, community and advocacy groups, academia, industry, state and territory governments and the Australian Public Service (APS).
People told us about the impact of being left behind when government services move online.
Industry highlighted the opportunities of innovative, emerging technologies, especially those from Australian suppliers.
The wider community shared their strong desire for closer partnership by government, with all corners of the economy and society, to share ideas and co-design policies and services.
The Australian Government will continue these genuine community partnerships to improve service delivery and decision making, consistent with its APS Reform Agenda.
The Strategy sets out 5 missions to accelerate data and digital transformation across the APS. It is accompanied by an Implementation Plan which highlights initiatives of national importance that will deliver substantial outcomes and establishes transparent, whole-of-government scorecards for unprecedented accountability.
Every public servant, at all levels of the APS plays a role in stewarding a simple, secure and connected experience of government for all people and business.
Going forward, government investments in data and digital will be coordinated, driving greater impact and effectiveness, and revealing where future efforts should be focused.
This will position the Government to achieve its 2030 vision under the Strategy.
