Getting there ... #digitalID legislation is good ✅ and now terrific to see some funding for trials of #digitalwallets and #verifiablecredentials as part of the Australian Government Digital Identity System (AGDIS). Identity is great but only half the story. We need an end-to-end and secure system. It is pointless to be able to prove who you are digitally if you still have to produce/copy/send paper documents and certificates.

A new free data resource providing timely, high-quality insights about regional visits was launched this week by Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade)'s Tourism Research Australia.   The new mobility data, which uses de-identified and aggregated data from several million mobile phones, harnesses technology to provide insights regarding domestic travellers that traditional surveys can’t.   Mobility data is published by TRA monthly, typically within a fortnight of month's end. This complements TRA’s more comprehensive National #Visitor Survey, which will continue to be published each quarter.   The monthly #Data is a fast and reliable source of insights on domestic visitors for the #Tourism industry.   My colleague Grant Ferres outlines that we have been publishing mobility data at a national and state/territory level for several months. He says this week's inaugural release of data for all 76 tourism regions is a continuation along TRA’s path of delivering data at more granular levels of geography and on a more timely basis. We have been able to develop this data for publication thanks to additional funding from the Australian Government   TRA's mobility data model draws on data from a variety of sources, including mobile phone network and GPS data, population data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and inputs from TRA’s own National Visitor Survey. All data is anonymised and aggregated, to ensure confidentiality and privacy is prioritised at every stage.   The free new data resource is published in a user friendly interactive dashboard, which allows users to choose the geographic location and month of interest. The data is presented as a comparison with the same month from the previous year, to assist with understanding changes and trends in visitation.  It will greatly assist Regional Tourism Organisations and Local Governments to understand movement by travellers (ie those who are travelling for day trips, overnight trips).   Mobility data also forms an important and major component of a new domestic ‘big data’ product called Domestic Tourism Statistics (DoTS), which will replace the current National Visitor Survey as the source of official domestic tourism statistics from early next year.     Improving data and insights is a priority of Australia’s national long-term strategy for the visitor economy, THRIVE 2030, and the new data supports Australia’s broader Data and Digital Government strategy.   View the monthly regional mobility data at https://lnkd.in/d7DSHjgU   #DomesticTravel #Travel #TourismStatistics #TravelStats #InformingDecisions #RTOs #LocalGovernment Queensland Tourism Industry Council NSW Tourism Association Tourism Industry Council SA (TiCSA) Victoria Tourism Industry Council (VTIC) Tourism Industry Council Tasmania Tourism Top End Tourism Council WA Australian Regional Tourism Ltd (ART) Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW)

🔊 RIMPA LIVE 2024 Presentation.... Tracing the Evolution of Records & Information Management Standards: An Australasian Perspective - Presented By Stephen Clarke BA (Hons), PG Dip, MRIM In the dynamic landscape of Records and Information Management (R/IM), standards have played a pivotal role in shaping practices, ensuring compliance, and fostering innovation. This presentation delves into the history of R/IM standards from an Australasian standpoint, exploring the driving forces behind their inception and evolution. By examining the historical context and contemporary challenges, we aim to elucidate the enduring relevance and evolving nature of R/IM standards in the Australasian context, considering the interplay between global standards like MoReq and DoD 5015, and the contributions of ISO standards such as ISO 15489, ISO 23081, ISO 30300, among others, as well as historical standards like AS4390, DIRKS, and Keyword AAA.   Register to attend RIMPA Live 2024: https://lnkd.in/gNMhmi-Z 🌊 IM THE NEXT WAVE   #RIMPALive24 #InformationManagement #IM #RecordsManagers #records #standards #IMstandards #ISOstandards #iso #Globalstandards #Australianstandards

Regardless of the outcomes of tomorrow’s General Election, we need bold leadership at the top of government to realise the full potential for digital public service transformation. So says our CEO and former Executive Director of the Government Digital Service, Stephen Foreshew-Cain, in his blog post ‘We need bold and better GovTech – not ‘Big IT’’. As Steve warns, “When we outsource our national digital public infrastructure by procuring from big IT consultancies, we create the conditions for the next Horizon.” Read the full post here: https://buff.ly/3zwHbif #GovTech #Election2024 #DigitalGovernment #PublicSectorTechnology

Many consultants choose project work for its flexibility and variety, but Canberra's shift away from contracting roles is making that choice increasingly difficult. High taxes and fewer local contract opportunities are prompting ICT and Business services support professionals to seek work outside the ACT. To bring these opportunities back, we need supportive tax policies and flexible APS partnerships.  Check out what John McCluskey had to say here: https://lnkd.in/gXS-Pj7j #BusinessGrowth #EconomicDevelopment #ConsultingIndustry #PublicPolicy #WorkforceDevelopment #LocalBusiness #CanberraJobs #TaxReform #Employment #SkillsTraining #Entrepreneurship #CanberraEconomy #JobCreation #FutureOfWork

Some information was released overnight about the LNP Housing Plan, ahead of today's State Budget reply speech. While there are still many details to come, it's encouraging to see some of the proposed measures in scope, including shared equity programs and major infrastructure partnerships with local government to increase housing supply. New and innovative concepts for maximising church-owned land and utiliising vacant bedrooms make for interesting reading. And if the reports are accurate, there is a strong commitment to achieving housing targets leading up to 2046. Q Shelter is looking forward to unpacking all the details and providing useful budget analysis for the sector. This will include areas of convergence with the major parties on housing policy and differences in approaches. https://lnkd.in/g6FcR_Qh Stay tuned. #StateBudget #Housing #Homelessness #HomeMatters #BetterTogether #Queensland

Here is a short introduction to digital verified credentials. Those interested in digital government services and the recent announcement of the Trust Exchange by the Australian government may find this of interest. The trust exchange may work differently to what is in the article but why and how should be broadly similar.
