What You'll Get:
What is Australia’s Digital ID System and why is it important? At this keynote, hear why it needs to be a secure, convenient, inclusive and voluntary system for Australian businesses and the community. With public trust a key driver to take-up, learn about the safeguards being put in place to ensure the economy-wide system is trusted and ID information is better protected. John Shepherd will provide an update on the Digital ID Bill and Rules and the intention for the system to expand over the coming years.
This session dives into the critical conversation on how we make digital identity more accessible with verifiable credentials. The session will delve into the world of international standards, interoperability, challenges of privacy and rethinking how we manage data. Chris Goh is harmonising digital licenses across Australia through his role in Austroads and formally lead the development of the first international standard compliant digital license App for Queensland.
Implications of Australia's New Digital ID Scheme
Legislation enabling Australia's Digital ID System has been recently passed by parliament and is set to take effect later this year. This coincides with over $288m being allocated in the federal budget to support the scheme's planned implementation and expansion over the coming years. Margo will explore the importance of these recent developments and outline what business and government should be starting to think about in preparation for the scheme's rollout.
