Digital Government

We support government in advancing digital initiatives, strategy advice and assurance controls to improve services in the Territory, through:

  • digital policy
  • telecommunications
  • ICT governance
  • digital communications
  • cyber strategy
  • digital strategy and
  • data strategy.

We are responsible for the development of the Digital Territory Strategy for government.

It will create a framework to promote and enable digital capabilities within the Territory. The strategy will identify the objectives and priorities for digital services and is underpinned by five digital directions:

  1. growing jobs and business
  2. connecting Territory communities
  3. building digital skills
  4. enabling smarter communities
  5. improving government services.

We develop and maintain information, communications and technology (ICT) policies and standards and records management standards for government.

We provide policy advice and guidance to agencies.

We play a strategic role in advocating for telecommunications services across the NT, particularly in remote areas, and to ensure remote Territorians have equitable access to telecommunications and infrastructure.
