Bloody LNP.In November 2018, the federal government unveiled the current digital transformation strategy, which the former Minister for Human Services and Digital Transformation Michael Keenan at the time labelled as a “bold vision”. This strategy is overseen by the DTA and the Australian Digital Council, and it involves spending billions on projects that augment and improve the ICT capabilities of various government agencies. According to the vision statement of the DTA, “By 2025, the digital government will be delivering more responsive policy, less red tape and better services with Australia as one of the top three digital governments in the world.”
There are the core initiatives that underpin this digital transformation strategy:
- Unified Digital Identity
At present, Australians have two separate digital identities – myGovID and Australia Post Digital iD. MyGovID represents one of the most well-known e-government development projects, but it only supports public services on the platform. In comparison, the other one provides access to public and private services. The DTA is focusing on incorporating both of them into one system using a common set of security standards. This way, citizens will be able to access everything with a single login.
