  • Phase 2 – Existing public-facing services

    From 1 July 2025, services that meet the following criteria will be required to meet Version 2.0 of the Digital Service Standard: 

    • public-facing
    • owned by non-corporate Commonwealth entities 
    • all existing informational and transactional services.

    Note: existing staff-facing services are excluded.

    Example – existing public-facing services 

    Public-facing services in existence prior to 1 July 2024 will be required to update their services to meet the requirements under Version 2.0 of the Digital Service Standard from 1 July 2025 or seek an exemption from the DTA. 

    As government service delivery and digital services mature, the DTA will review the Digital Service Standard and make improvements in line with agency application and feedback.

  • About digital.gov.au beta

    Digital.gov.au is a gateway to unify all things digital currently distributed across various Australian Government agencies and portfolios.

    Digital.gov.au serves as a launching pad for the Australian Public Service (APS), and the wider public, to explore the Australian Government's digital initiatives. By bringing together key standards, frameworks and policies under one banner, people will be able to efficiently access important resources, and assist readers to make connections between disparate digital work.  

    Digital.gov.au is department and agency agnostic, designed to be simple to navigate and efficiently searchable. This means digital experts within government can easily find and join-the-dots between a wide variety of work, improving future initiatives and their outcomes.

    Digital.gov.au is launching in Beta, which means we are encouraging users to provide feedback, not just on the experience with website, but also recommendations on what content they would like to see on the site. 

    You can provide feedback by visiting the tell us what you think page.
