State Insurance Regulatory Authority

NSW CTP insurance scheme indemnifies vehicle owners and drivers liable for personal injury caused to other parties in the event of a motor vehicle accident.

A new CTP scheme was rolled out in December 2017, reflecting reform to better support people injured on NSW roads, and reducing cost of Green Slips to vehicle owners.

The Challenge 

The Information and Data Policy team took on the challenge of applying new agile policy development techniques to reforming NSW data strategies and policies for more than three weeks in October and November last year, in conjunction with the newly established Policy Lab.  

People working for NSW Government have a tremendous enthusiasm for data and want to learn more about safely and effectively using it in their day-to-day roles.

That’s the key finding from the Department of Finance, Service and Innovation’s (DFSI) recent NSW Government Data Skills Survey.

We conducted the short seven-question survey last year and sent it to government digital.nsw subscribers. We received 1,156 responses.

We are living in the age of information and one of the greatest challenges in the digital world is governing, harnessing, managing, protecting, using and reusing the vast amount of information and data we’re generating.

Increasingly, governments around the world are realising that the data they collect is one of their key strategic assets. Data-driven decision-making allows governments to allocate their resources more effectively and deliver better outcomes for the people they serve.  

DFSI is working to transform how NSW government operates and to support people with better government services. The effective use of data will be at the heart of this digital transformation.

NSW Budget Visualisation

The Treasury

The NSW Budget is prepared by the Treasury each year, and is released to the public in June. The Budget outlines revenue and expenses for the coming year, provides overview of the State’s economy, and details the priorities the Government will deliver.
