Opened 19 Sep 2017 / Closes 30 Nov 2017

Overview
On 19 September 2017, the Australian Government announced it will develop a national Digital Economy Strategy. The strategy will focus on ways governments, businesses and the community can adjust to seize the benefits of digital transformation.

The ‘digital economy’ is not separate to the economy. It impacts all industries and business types, and influences the way we interact with each other every day.

We know government doesn’t have all the answers. That’s why we have committed to developing the strategy in an open and inclusive way. We want your ideas to help develop the strategy. Your responses will help us identify the key issues, challenges and opportunities, and to develop a way forward.
