Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF)

The Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF) is an accreditation framework for Digital Identity services and underpins the Australian Government's Digital Identity System. It sets out strong rules around privacy, security, transparency, trust, and choice, to achieve accreditation. Any entity that participates in the Australian Government Digital Identity System must meet the requirements set out in the TDIF (currently only government agencies and government digital identity services can be onboarded to the System).
