Budget 2021: And $40m for a joint data analytics solution with Defence.
The federal government will spend almost $120 million consolidating IT systems used by the Department of Veterans Affairs and bolstering its data analytics capabilities.
Budget documents reveal a program of work over the four years in response to a 2019 Productivity Commission report that called for the greater use of data to plug gaps in service delivery.
Around $55 million will go towards “ICT consolidation” in both DVA and its shared services provider, Services Australia.
Veteran Affairs minister Darren Chester said the funding would build on improvements made under the multi-million veteran centric reform program that began in 2016.
