The NSW Data Analytics Centre’s (DAC) mission is to build world-class capabilities in whole-of-government data analytics to improve outcomes for citizens of NSW. In a world of increasing complexity and rapid change, data analytics has the potential to deliver innovation in service provisions and improve outcomes by generating new perspectives. The NSW DAC was the first of its kind in Australia, and a model now being replicated in other jurisdictions.
The DAC has been working on projects designed to make our streets and roads safer, our businesses more vibrant, and our environment cleaner. With a multidisciplinary team, and an organisational structure that fosters a creative work environment, NSW DAC is leading whole-of-government data analytics.
