Implementation
Implementation projects and progress on the recommendations
Background
Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Lindsay Tanner, engaged Sir Peter Gershon to lead an independent review of the Australian Government's use and management of information and communication technology (ICT).
The review was undertaken to identify ways in which the Australian Government could strengthen the whole-of-government management of ICT and maximise the benefits from ICT to drive greater efficiency and deliver better services. The review also examined the way in which agencies manage their ICT investments, including maintenance, development and staffing.
Sir Peter provided Minister Tanner with his report on the 28th of August 2008. In November 2008 the Government endorsed the recommendations of the Review in full and initiated the ICT Reform Program.
