NSW Government Identity Strategy

Our vision is to provide citizens with a trusted, convenient and safe identity by delivering world-class identity products and services that leverage both traditional and digital pathways.

Our aim is to consistently embed the NSW Government Identity Priorities in all identity-related products and services developed and implemented in NSW to: 

  • provide better privacy and security of personal information
  • provide excellent customer service securely
  • reduce identity crime and provide better support for victims
  • provide equal access to government services for all NSW customers
  • support the digital transformation of NSW Government service delivery.

The NSW Government is committed to the coordinated, holistic management of identity in NSW.
