Most proposals, even complex proposals, can be distilled down to just a few primary capability to describe the solutions which they incorporate.

Ensuring investments meet IOF requirements

The DTA provides strategic advice and assurance to the Australian Government on its digital and ICT-enabled investments to help drive the transformation of public services.

To guide this, the Government has developed a whole-of-Government Digital and ICT Investment Oversight Framework (IOF) to manage its digital and ICT-enabled investments across their lifecycle. 

Agencies are required to work with the DTA to ensure all digital and ICT-enabled investments are planned, developed and implemented in accordance with the requirements of the IOF.
