AUSTRALIA’S FOREIGN AND TRADE POLICY

Advancing the National Interest is the Government’s and Australia’s second foreign and trade policy White Paper. It is a comprehensive assessment of Australia’s place in the world and articulation of the Government’s strategies to protect and promote the security and prosperity of Australia and our people. Australians can be positive and confident about their future and our country’s standing in the international system. As this document shows, Australia’s international links are in good order, underpinned by our domestic strengths and informed by the values and identity of our nation. We are dealing forthrightly with security threats, especially from terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and people smuggling. And Australia has responded well to the challenges of globalisation, including through reform of our own economy and a sustained effort to open regional and global markets.

A digital workplace enables next-generation public service experiences

whitePaper | May 15, 2022

Long before the pandemic created a worldwide retreat from physical workplaces, governments around the world recognised the need to undertake a digital transformation of some kind. Many governments had started to build transformation strategies that would support the gradual adoption of digital technologies to improve efficiency, increase productivity and enable better resource management. The main goal behind these strategies was to create the next generation digital infrastructure that would improve the delivery of services to citizens, from personalised administrative services to tailored health services, safer care for all and customised education. Some governments had started the transformation process. Then the pandemic changed everything. Almost overnight, governments were forced into a new reality that didn’t fit with mid- and long-term digital transformation objectives. Shutdowns changed the world from a largely in-person experience to a virtual experience for government workers and citizens. Government workforces had to quickly move entirely to remote working and governments had to adapt to find new ways to deliver services to citizens.
