Achieving Digital Transformation across the Australian Public Service by 2025

Ultimately the Data Scheme is focussed on “increasing the availability and use of Australian government data,” so that it helps government to deliver services that are “simple, helpful, respectful and transparent,” allowing government to operate better.
