The Plan builds on our achievements from the past 12 months and sets the direction for the year ahead as we pursue the ambition of Australia becoming a world leader in digital government.

Highlights:

Purpose: To provide digital and ICT strategy and policy leadership, investment advice, strategic sourcing, and delivery oversight to drive the government’s digital transformation and deliver benefits to all Australians.

Vision: The Australian Government will deliver simple, secure and connected public services for all people and business through world class data and digital capabilities.

Mission: To be the trusted adviser to the Australian Government and Commonwealth entities on digital and ICT matters and investment decisions.

Strategic Objectives:

• Lead government’s digital transformation strategy through our co-delivery of the Data and Digital Government Strategy and Implementation Plan, as well as leadership in policy design, strategy, advice, and whole-of-government architecture.
• Oversee the short, medium and long-term whole-of-government digital and ICT investment portfolio.
• Manage whole-of-government digital and ICT strategic sourcing and contracts.
• Be a valued employer with the expertise to achieve our purpose.

The DTA is committed to strategic investments to make digital services simple, secure, and connected, and that focus on building capabilities that support everyone – from those delivering government services to the individuals, businesses and communities using those services. In doing this, we will increase rigour of digital investment oversight to maximise value while reducing risk and waste.
