Entry Assessments Project Team, Department of Immigration and Citizenship
The delivery of an integrated online forms solution by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s Entry Assessments Project Team has led to significantly more streamlined processes for the receipt and transmission of data collected in remote locations. The move from a paper-based system to an online solution has resulted in significant savings as well as efficiencies and timely availability of data. As a result of the team’s work, data is now available for analysis and use in stakeholder briefings as soon as it is submitted to the database. The team’s collaboration and coordination skills were testament to the successful delivery of this project.
Infrastructure & Service Desk Team, Campbelltown City Council, New South Wales
The Infrastructure & Service Desk (I&SD) Team have implemented a Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony solution that is making a real difference in how Campbelltown City Council does its business. The I&SD team incorporated a strong project management methodology and maintained an extraordinary focus on consultation and communication to deliver a reliable, modern and cost-effective tool for interacting with its customers that can be easily monitored, managed and configured. The I&SD Team’s discipline and consultation process enabled them to manage an organisation-wide change with no disruption to customer service and an exceptional level of acceptance from staff.
Network Infrastructure Development Team, Department of Defence
The Directorate of Network Infrastructure Development (DNID) team within the Department of Defence is responsible for the development, approval and funding of complex proposals for major Australian Defence Force (ADF) ICT projects. Some of the tangible results of DNID’s achievements include the introduction of new technologies into ADF communications, and significantly improved strategic and tactical satellite communications. DNID is a team of highly motivated professionals that have demonstrated superior ability to innovate while contributing to strategic organisational change, and have also applied themselves in developing innovative solutions to increase workplace efficiency and productivity.
