Foreword Effective investment in digital technologies and data is critical for improving public services and institutionalefficiency. Withgovernment spending on digital and ICTexpectedto grow annually by 8.4% between 2024-2027, governments must ensure these investments are managed well to maximise value and avoidinefficiencies.Applying agile investment strategies,balancing internal capabilities with strategicpartnerships, and aligning budgeting with modern digital needs are essential for success. The OECD’sDigital Government Investment Frameworkoffers guidance for strengthening governance, managing risks,and promoting result-oriented investments. Together, these elements demonstrate an integrated, whole-of-government approach to ensure an effective management of digital investments in governments. Putting this into practice, the Australian Government’s Digital and ICT Investment Oversight Framework(IOF) provides the backbone for its Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) to support the Government inmanagingits digital and ICT-enabled investments in line with the objectives set in theData and DigitalGovernment Strategy 2023-2030. Introduced in 2022, the IOF aims to provide a robust and integrated whole-of-government approach tomanaging digital governmentinvestments based on an end-to-end framework across the entire projectlifecycle-from early planning through to project delivery and realisation of planned benefits Since itsintroduction, the IOF has developed iteratively to respond to the evolving needs of the AustralianGovernment and public administration to strengthen decision making and improve the successful deliveryof digital and ICT projects. The Australian Government, through the DTA, has asked the OECD to assess progress and formulatepolicyrecommendations to strengthen the IOF after three years of implementation. The purpose of thisreview is to understand the IOF’s strengths and identify opportunities for it to evolve to ensure that itremains relevant and continues to support the Australian Government’s digital transformation. This OECD Digital Government Scan of Australia therefore applies the OECD’sDigital GovernmentInvestment Frameworkto assess the Australian Government’s maturity across the states of the IOF underthe three pillarsof the Framework: strategic planning, coherent implementation, and comprehensivemonitoring and oversight. The OECD therefore considered the elements required for each of these pillarsbased on Australi
