Ensuring everyone can access digital government services
The Social Services Minister Bill Shorten announced the appointment of HTI Co-Director and former Human Rights Commissioner Professor Edward Santow to the myGov Advisory Group, to be chaired by former NSW Minister Victor Dominello.
Minister Shorten said the Group will provide advice and assurance on approaches to designing, funding and prioritising customer-centred improvements for myGov.
Professor Santow said he is honoured to join the myGov Advisory Group.
Australia is the country of the fair go. A big part of living out this vision is to make sure everyone in our community can access government services when they need them most. And that means constantly working to improve myGov.
“I can promise I'll always offer frank, fearless and hopefully helpful advice to Minister Bill Shorten and Services Australia.
