Digital Government in Australia

Effective investment in digital technologies and data is essential for enhancing public service delivery and institutional performance. As government spending on digital and ICT is projected to grow, ensuring these investments deliver value and avoid inefficiencies is increasingly critical. This demands agile investment strategies, a balance between in-house capabilities and strategic partnerships, and budgeting approaches that align with modern digital needs. The OECD's Digital Government Investment Framework provides valuable guidance to help governments strengthen governance, manage risks, and pursue results-driven investment.
