It’s been a big week at the intersect of computers and government; the NSW minister for digital government will retire at the end of his term, the Victorian information watchdog slammed the state's police agency for a lack of privacy-training, and Services Australia has set a go-live date for the new myGov.
In this week's edition of CRN Australia's Weekly Gov Wrap Up we’ll also look at ICT tenders that have opened across federal and state governments. Including Queensland Corrective Services asking for expressions of interest from any companies who can use technology to help manage its “increasing prisoner population,”
We’ll also spotlight this week's channel winners, such as Intuit Technologies, whose position on Tasmania's ICT hardware supply panel scored a $158,760 deal to provide Microsoft 365 Support Services to the Department of Treasury and Finance.

Miscellaneous
The NSW minister for customer service and digital government Victor Dominello has said he will retire at the end of his term instead of contesting the 2023 state election for “family health issues.”
Victoria Police has said it provided no privacy training to its members for more than a year because the central team responsible for education had no staff. “As of February 2022, Victoria Police had not provided any privacy-specific training ... for its members for more than a year,” the Office of the Victorian Information Commissioner found in a report.
myGov will be upgraded to ‘myGov Beta’ on 5 September, Service Australia has said. The one-stop shop for online government services is currently based on a legacy platform that was last upgraded in 2017. Its replacement is supported by the government’s digital experience platform, which Deloitte has been building since 2020, and is based on Adobe Software. The two companies have collectively been paid around $75 million for their work on the upgrade.
