(a)-(d)
The Department of Transport is looking to allow digital driver’s licences, and provide the ability to add one’s Recreational Skippers Ticket and Recreational Fishing Licence to the App.
Discussions across the Department’s Business Units, together with other government agencies including the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, have determined that there is value in the Department leveraging its capability as a state individual Identity Provider.
7 FTEs are currently working on these modules, with 10 staff contributing in various capacities and at various stages.
