The Data and Digital Government Strategy will outline the Australian Government’s vision for simple, secure and connected public services, for all people and business, delivered through world class data and digital capabilities.

By aligning the Australian Public Service’s data and digital agenda for the first time, the Strategy will support more joined-up delivery across Government.
