The Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA (https://www.aiia.com.au/)), the peak
representative body and advocacy group for those in the digital ecosystem, has signed a new
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) to
continue the strong collaboration between the Australian Government and the ICT industry.
The AIIA and DTA first signed a MOU in March of 2018. Previously this has been renewed
annually, with the 2021 MOU to be an ongoing agreement, such is the strength of the
relationship between the 2 parties. In the 3 years since the initial MOU was
signed, ongoing value for both parties has been demonstrated and this has led to the agency
agreeing to make the MOU an ongoing agreement. This shows the commitment of both sides
to deliver world class citizen and government digital services that benefits Australia’s digital
industry.
Under the ongoing agreement, the DTA and AIIA will continue to exchange information,
experiences and expertise to achieve better outcomes for people and businesses using
government digital services.
AIIA CEO, Mr Ron Gauci said: “Our ongoing relationship with the DTA has benefitted both
parties. The DTA has access to the best digital technology practices in Australia through the
AIIA membership and is able to use our network - including SMEs - to understand how they
can best implement change through Australia’s government digital services. The signing of the
ongoing MOU between both parties demonstrates the commitment the agency has to working
with industry to collaborate and share knowledge.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a once in lifetime opportunity for major reform and
restructure of our economy and society. Governments have the opportunity to digitise their
platforms and services to best meet the needs of society. The AIIA and its members are here to
work alongside the government to help facilitate this transition.”
DTA Chief Executive Officer, Randall Brugeaud, said: “The importance of digital in enabling
government service delivery really came to the fore in 2020. Australia’s ICT industry strongly
supported the government’s COVID-19 response and is continuing to provide support as we
move into the recovery phase.”
“We look forward to working with industry, including through the AIIA, to deliver essential
services to all Australians.”
The AIIA and DTA will continue to lead discussion and introduction of ICT technology and best
practices between government and industry. The 2 parties will continue to seek ways to
increase skills in Australia’s ICT industry and to champion women in technology.
The AIIA looks forward to continuing to build on its long-term partnership with the DTA to
provide advice and opportunity for continued improvements in government service delivery.
The AIIA is a not-for-profit organisation aimed at fuelling Australia’s future social and
economic prosperity through technology innovation.
