FutureGov Forum Western Australia

Important new developments are underway in Australia’s economic and financial powerhouse in Western Australia. Building on the state’s mining and resources boom, state and local government agencies are fast-tracking investments in information technology and telecommunications — while streamlining citizen services.

Combined, WA agencies spent AUD $644.6 million on Information communications and technology (ICT) payments to suppliers. Moves are underway in 2012-2013 enabling agencies to migrate from a controversial shared services to a decentralised ICT procurement regime.

During 2013-2014, agencies will have greater freedom and choices to make their own procurement decisions, at the same time, adapting technology spending programmes to suit citizen and service delivery needs.

These ICT choices are also impacted by an imminent state election, scheduled for mid-March 2013.

How will WA’s political and ICT policy reforms develop in 2013-2014? How do you benefit from these reforms across the political divide?
