Driven by a commitment to providing Australians with access toconvenient and cost effective services, the Service Delivery
Reform programme (SDR) was announced in 2009. This AUD $1.25
billion programme included transforming the delivery of
government social welfare services and integrating three
large, separate service agencies into the Department of Human Services (the department).
In 2012, the department also assumed responsibility for
developing a single, secure government digital service (known as myGov) to improve Australians access to online services.
By 2015, the department has successfully integrated and
achieved significant outcomes for government and Australians:
•From 570 fragmented shopfronts to integrated service delivery through 380 shopfronts and a flexible, multi-skilled
workforce;
•A network of Community Engagement Officers and mobile service centres providing whole-of-government ‘assisted’ service
delivery to customers who may have difficulty accessing
government services;
•From multiple, unconnected agency digital services to myGov
with over 7 million active accounts and 130,000 sign ins each day connecting Australians to nine government services; and
•From less than 15% of people doing online transactions in
2010 to over 50% in 2015.
