3. Providing leadership within government

The department will coordinate with and influence other agencies, at the State, Commonwealth and Local level, to promote the benefits of e-commerce and to encourage them to develop initiatives aimed at increasing the uptake of e-commerce by the business community.

4. Modelling the way

The department will become an active adopter of e-commerce technologies leading to improvements in its internal business processes and service delivery and opportunities for clients and suppliers to be exposed to secure e-commerce transactions.
