DAC<br />
In August 2015, the Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation<br />
announced the establishment of the NSW Government Data<br />
Analytics Centre – the first of its kind in Australia.<br />
The DAC has been established within the Department of<br />
Finance, Services and Innovation. Importantly it has been<br />
designed with advice from the Customer Service Commissioner,<br />
Privacy Commissioner, Information Commissioner, and senior<br />
leaders across the sector.<br />
NSW is Australia’s ICT capital and home to a growing<br />
community of technology start-ups and innovation hubs.<br />
The DAC will operate within this already dynamic and growing<br />
innovation culture within NSW. The DAC will work across the<br />
public sector and also play an important role in delivering the<br />
NSW State Priorities.<br />
Data analytics will enhance government’s ability to understand<br />
what customers want in relation to services. Better use of data<br />
analytics in the policy design stage will inform evidence-based<br />
decision making and ensure more effective customer<br />
focused services.<br />
