The Office of eGovernment provides support for the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Policy Board.  The ICT Policy Board was created by government to advise the Premier on:

• strategic directions for ICT within government

2. Efficient government:  Create new opportunities for reducing the costs of government services
3. Effective government:  Improved quality and accessibility of government services through better use of government ICT
4. Innovative government:  Generate new and improved government services from new ways of using ICT; where possible foster the commercial use of them by the local business community
5. Clever government:  Connect agency services, and increase cross-agency collaboration with appropriate government ICT tools
6. Agile government:  More responsive government through appropriate ICT resources and skills
