Excellence in eGovernment Awards and ICT Professional of the Year Award

The Excellence in e-Government Awards (the Awards), were introduced in 2006 by the Australian Government to promote excellence in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in all spheres of government across Australia. The primary focus of the Awards is the promotion of excellence in the use of ICT by government. The Awards are administered by the Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance). This year the Awards were expanded to include categories across a number of ICT disciplines and to recognise outstanding achievement by an individual, or team in any discipline.

The ICT Professional of the Year Award is the recognition of outstanding achievement by a team or an individual in any ICT discipline. It was one of a suite of recommendations aimed at enhancing the management of the Australian Public Service (APS) ICT skills base. The Review of the Australian Government’s use of Information and Communication Technology recommended the sponsorship of annual awards to recognise outstanding professionalism by a team or an individual working in ICT in the Australian Public Service arena.
