The Australian Government is driving innovation through its Data and Digital Government Strategy, envisioning a future where public services are simple, secure, and connected. This strategy is built on extensive consultations across sectors, emphasizing the need for enhanced sovereign capability and modern investment models. The government recognizes the importance of emerging technologies, ensuring their safe, ethical, and transparent adoption.
The strategy includes initiatives like the Digital Transformation Agency’s trial of Copilot for Microsoft 365, demonstrating AI’s potential in enhancing government operations. Policies and frameworks, such as the cross-APS Policy for responsible AI use, ensure rigorous standards in AI applications. Government agencies will develop comprehensive digital investment plans starting July, 2025, and the revamped (link unavailable) platform will streamline procurement processes.
