Sustain the myGov platform for an additional year, to continue to securely support over 25 million accounts and connect Australians to 15 government services.
The Government will provide $134.5 million in 2023-24 to sustain the myGov platform for an additional year, to continue to securely support over 25 million accounts and connect Australians to 15 government services. It will include maintenance of streamlined and secure digital credentials, such as the Medicare Card now available in the myGov app. This measure will partially offset by continuing Services Australia's user charging arrangements with the Australian Taxation Office and Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, and be partially met from within existing resourcing of Services Australia. The Government will consider future funding for myGov in the context of the Government's response to the recommendations of the Critical National Infrastructure - myGov User Audit. The Government has provisioned ongoing funding in the Contingency Reserve.
