Engagement and consultation activities with the software industry are an important part of developing digital solutions, which improve the administration of Australia’s tax and superannuation system.
To provide a consistent approach to these activities, we have established the Digital service provider (DSP) engagement model (PDF, 74KB). The model is designed to deliver outcomes through our engagement and consultation objectives:
- Strategic – guiding direction
- Operational – co-designing solutions
- Tactical – problem solving
- Informative – staying connected
