Digital ID

The Australian Government is investing in its Digital ID Program to support the use of Digital ID across Commonwealth, state, and territory and private sector services. A broad range of government services are already benefiting from the enhanced user experience and efficiency that Digital ID can provide.

By progressing enabling legislation and investment, the Program is embedding strong privacy and security protections for people when they choose to use Digital ID to verify their identity online. Further funding is for relevant regulators such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) as the Digital ID regulator and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) for privacy oversight, ATO's myGovID, the Services Australia identity exchange, future policy development, and measures to increase broader identity resilience and use of the Government’s identity matching services.
