Why? In the 2020-21 Budget, the government invested $328.4m over 4 years in measures to improve the ease of doing business for agricultural exporters. We will achieve this by modernising our trade systems, cutting red tape, and streamlining regulation and service delivery for exporters. A large portion of this investment is focused on commencing the upgrade of the ICT services that underpin our export systems and the business processes that support the delivery of export regulatory services to agricultural exporters. This investment will:
•simplify interactions between farmers and exporters and the department in the delivery of agricultural export assessment and certification services
•reduce the regulatory burden on industry through streamlined and integrated systems that remove unnecessary costs and delays for exporters
•protect the value of agricultural exports by ensuring the integrity of systems through mitigation of export system outages and improvement of the cyber security of information. While the improvements under the Busting Congestion program, which the department has established, will benefit agricultural exporters, the resultant uplift of our ICT services will also have a significant flow-on effect on the quality and range of the digital services and underpinning ICT services we provide to our clients and staff more broadly.
