Our One Network Project
The NIAA continues to implement the One Network project, which consolidates our operations into a single, unified network in the cloud. This project enhances internal collaboration and opens avenues for improving engagements with external stakeholders. The cloud-based infrastructure will foster innovation and improve operational efficiency within a secure Protected environment.
Introduction of the New ICT Strategy
The NIAA is developing a new ICT strategy to guide our future direction alongside the One Network project. The strategy will focus on 5 key areas:
- making our data accessible and actionable for evidence-based decisions
- adopting secure and efficient technologies that support collaboration
- ensuring clear and evolving operations
- building critical capabilities through a mix of expertise and partnerships
- fostering a user-centric, collaborative culture.
This new strategy will align with broader technological trends and government policies, positioning us for future success and ensuring we remain at the forefront of innovation and excellence.
Formation of the new ICT Branch
A new ICT, Data and Systems Branch has been established in a step towards streamlined and efficient technology services. The new branch is committed
to providing high-quality ICT and data services to support evidence-based decision-making, enhance process efficiency, and bolster internal and external collaboration. This consolidation signifies a commitment to elevating our ICT and data capabilities to meet organisational needs.
Enhancing our data capabilities
Evidence-based decision-making is critical to achieving positive outcomes for First Nations communities and peoples. Data is integral to this commitment. The NIAA recently released our new Data and Digital Strategy 2024–2028, which will guide the development of our capabilities.
We are continuously working on data and information transformation to improve data governance and practices and to explore advanced data and analytics technologies. We are also working to improve data and digital literacy across the NIAA. This ongoing focus will ensure we remain a data-empowered agency, driving informed decisions and innovative solutions.
