DATA SHARING AND ANALYTICS<br />

In the evolving and growing digital economy, data has become<br />

increasingly valuable to business and to the public sector as each<br />

realises the potential that can be unlocked by data sharing and<br />

data analysis. Data is the foundation of evidence-based policy,<br />

and provides the basis for the development of effective, tailored<br />

community services.<br />

By extracting better intelligence and building a stronger<br />

evidence base, government can make the best use of its<br />

investment in data and direct resources to those programs,<br />

policies and initiatives that will deliver the greatest benefits.<br />

Data Analytics Centre<br />

The NSW Government has established the DAC to support<br />

agencies to design and deliver better services, particularly<br />

where policy issues cross portfolio boundaries.<br />

It will become the central point for access to data and<br />

interoperability standards.<br />

The DAC will:<br />

••<br />

identify problems or challenges facing the<br />

NSW Government in collaboration with agencies<br />

••<br />

collect and analyse cross cluster or whole of government<br />

data to better understand problems, challenges<br />

and opportunities<br />

••<br />

drive better practice in data sharing and analytics.<br />

Working with the research, start-up and data science<br />

communities, the DAC will bring a new focus and insight to<br />

existing policy challenges, while opening up opportunities to<br />

consider new ways of designing better customer services. This<br />

offers benefits to the community and NSW Government not<br />

only in terms of better policy outcomes, but also in reducing<br />

duplication in data collection, storage and management.<br />
