The Department of Customer Service is collaborating with the community, industry and data experts across government to design and test new policy approaches to secure and enable data use across government.
Data policy prototypes we are designing and testing will be available for feedback on this page.
Data Governance Framework
Data governance is essential to a data-informed government and to improved customer service.
Effective data governance leads to improved customer outcomes by ensuring trusted, accurate and reliable information is available to inform government decision-making, policy development and service delivery.
Effective data governance is also critical to ensuring that valuable data assets are shared appropriately among agencies and managed in line with community and legal expectations.
While there are pockets of good data governance practices across agencies, this is not consistent across clusters or across the NSW Government. To fully realise the value of its data, NSW Government requires a shared direction for building whole of government data governance maturity.
This Data Governance Framework has been developed in partnership with the NSW Data Champions Network and is now available for feedback.
