The Australian Data Strategy plays an important part in the Government’s vision for Australia’s development over the coming decade. It complements other strategies like our Digital Economy Strategy and the Digital Government Strategy and sets out clear actions to improve how the Government uses data to better the lives of all Australians, how we can help businesses and others to be more productive through data use and give Australians greater agency over how their data is used.

The Australian data strategy enshrines the effective, safe, ethical and secure use of data as an important foundational tool for businesses, individuals, the non-government and government sectors. The strategy will help to support the government’s vision to become a modern data-driven society by 2030.
