E-government in Australia - statistics & facts
Within the past decade, Australia has positioned itself as one of the world leaders in terms of e-government development. This has been largely due to a period of rapid digital transformation and investment in the digitalization of government departments and services by the federal government in the mid-2010s. Subsequently, Australians are now able to lodge tax returns, apply for income support, and access their digital medical records online from home or via their smartphone. In turn, Australian government departments benefit from this investment by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing the accuracy of data collection and reporting compliance.
