Digital Investment Plan

Building a future-ready public sector through progressive and measurable digital planning.

Digital Investment Plans (DIPs) help agencies plan, align and communicate their digital investment priorites. They support better whole-of-government visibility, coordination, and long-term capability development. 

From 1 July 2025, non-corporate Commonwealth entities will be required to develop DIPs  in line with the government digital strategy. 

What are Digital Investment Plans

DIPs are strategic planning documents that outline an agency’s digital direction and upcoming digital and ICT investments. They provide visibility of current state, future ambitions, and the initiatives that will help deliver those outcomes.

They ensure that digital investments are aligned with agency goals and whole-of-government digital priorities. 

Why DIPs are important

  • Improve long term planning across government
  • Ensure alignment with digital strategy and investment priorities
  • Identify gaps, risks and opportunities earlier
