On 20 November 2019, the Prime Minister announced the establishment of a Digital Technology Taskforce. The taskforce will sit within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and will drive Australia to become a leading digital economy by 2030.

The taskforce is looking at ways the Australian Government can boost productivity through the uptake of digital technology. The taskforce is also exploring ways digital technology can benefit all Australians and minimise any harms.

The taskforce will operate until mid-2021 and is currently in its establishment phase. More information is available on the Digital Technology Taskforce webpage.
