The Digital Experience Policy

The Digital Experience Policy (DX Policy) sets agreed benchmarks for the performance of digital services. 

It supports agencies to design and deliver better experiences by considering the broader digital service ecosystem and data on real-world use.

Policy compliance

Agencies must comply with the DX Policy and the 4 standards in the design and delivery of applicable digital government services. 

Compliance refers to an agency meeting the requirements of the DX Policy and its accompanying standards. This means making sure your service complies with the criteria in each of the applicable standards for the service.

Compliance through the IOF

Compliance information helps the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) provide government with advice on how agencies are supporting whole-of-government strategies. Compliance and performance data is used to monitor the government’s digital ecosystem.

As part of this, DTA identify exemplary services as well as systems or areas requiring uplift.
