Our aim is to consistently embed the NSW Government Identity Priorities in all identity-related products and services developed and implemented in NSW to:
- provide better privacy and security of personal information
- provide excellent customer service securely
- reduce identity crime and provide better support for victims
- provide equal access to government services for all NSW customers
- support the digital transformation of NSW Government service delivery.
The NSW Government is committed to the coordinated, holistic management of identity in NSW.

The NSW identity priorities provide government with a consistent framework for all identity products and services to ensure the best outcomes for the people of NSW.

The identity enablers form a toolkit that can be used by government to ensure the identity priorities are meaningfully embedded into identity products and services.
