  • How the Australian Government manages its digital projects to support success

    This section explains how digital projects are supported from the centre of government including through a world-leading investment management framework specifically designed to create the conditions digital projects need to succeed.

  • Project budgets: $1M–$3B

    Project duration: 1–35 Years

    Projects range in total budget from less than $1 million to more than $3 billion, and in duration from one year to 35 years. What each of these projects has in common is that they are harnessing technology to deliver benefits for Australians.

    Project budgets: 2/3 digital technologies

    For the projects included in this report, on average about two-thirds of the total project budget relates directly to digital technologies with one-third going to non-digital spending.

  • Key figures

    • 46 agencies
    • $12.9B total project budget
    • $5.6B digital budget
    • 110 active projects
      • 20 Tier 1: Tier 1 projects are the Australian Government's most complex and strategically significant digital projects
      • 42 Tier 2: Tier 2 projects are also complex and strategically significant, but with smaller scope, lower criticality and/or lower cost than Tier 1 projects
      • 48 Tier 3: Tier 3 projects are significant investments that generally represent lower risk.

    Reforms supporting success

    Ensuring digital projects deliver expected benefits for Australians on time and on budget sits at the heart of each of the reforms highlighted throughout this report.

    How digital projects are monitored and supported from the centre of government

    In the past year, more projects have come under central monitoring and oversight as part of the Australian Government’s Digital and ICT Investment Oversight Framework (IOF).

    This world-class framework is designed to ensure digital projects are strategically aligned, carefully prioritised, meet digital policies and standards, and realise expected benefits for Australians.

    The IOF starts with setting a clear strategic direction, which is then reinforced throughout the lifecycle of project design, funding and implementation. Throughout this lifecycle, best-practice digital policies and standards set clear requirements with agencies supported to meet these requirements by the DTA.
