Reuse data where you can
Review your existing data: Review what data you already collect and how it can be reused in your service. Where appropriate, consider if you can employ safe, ethical data sharing arrangements under the Data Availability and Transparency Act Scheme. Actions to leverage ethical, data-driven decision making can be found in Criteria 5 (‘Build Trust in Design’) and 8 (‘Do No Harm’).

Your responsibilities
To successfully meet this criterion, agencies will need to:
- ‘build once, use many times’
- design for a common, seamless experience
- reuse data where possible.
When to apply
Apply Criterion 6 during the Discovery and Alpha phases to capture potential solutions, new and existing, that the service could use to solve problems.
Foster a culture of sharing experiences with other agencies, build on the learnings taken from them and align to common platforms, patterns and standards throughout the Service design and delivery process.
Questions for consideration
- What could be aligned with on the Australian Government Architecture?
- What platforms, patterns and standards could the service reuse?
- What are the alternatives to building from scratch?
- Which agencies run similar services that could be built upon?
- How can new or bespoke components be made for future reuse?
- What data do we already collect, and can it be repurposed?
