What we’re exploring

We're always exploring and testing new ideas to improve your experience with myGov and digital government services.

myGov is the go-to place for accessing online services

See what we’re exploring to make myGov the go-to, reliable way for you to access services, payments and support.

More consistent notices from your linked services

We’re exploring how myGov can deliver more consistent notices from your linked services. Imagine if you could get clear reminders about the things you need to do or messages about the government support available to you. We want to make sure all your messages from government are easy to understand, so you know what you need to do.

Connecting information and services that are relevant to you

Imagine if you could easily check and update your details in one place when you move house or change your contact details. What if you could get guidance about all the things to do when big things happen in life such as having a baby, starting work or planning retirement. We’re exploring how myGov could share your updated details with your linked services. We’re also looking at how myGov can help you find the help you need from government during important events, stages or moments in your life.

Adding more credentials to the myGov app

We’re adding more government cards and certificates to the myGov app digital wallet. We’re also working across government on emerging technologies, including verifiable credentials. In preparation, we are exploring enhancements to the myGov app digital wallet that would support government-issued verifiable credentials.

More services in myGov

We’re working closely with other government agencies to bring more digital services to myGov. This includes working with state and territory jurisdictions to create different ways to support you to find services.

Make it easier to access services

We’ll keep making it easier for you to understand what assistance, services and payments you’re entitled to based on the information you consent to share with us.

Easily prove who you are online

We’ll continue our work to let you use your Digital ID in myGov to prove who you are online. By asking you to share only the necessary personal information, we’re simplifying your access to government services and keeping you in control of your information.

Digital government services are simple and easy to use

We’ll keep improving the features in myGov, giving you a more consistent, easy experience across digital government services.

myGov is your go to place

We’re partnering across government to bring more information and activities from across government to myGov. If you choose to, you’ll be able to link and access more information in a single place in your myGov account and don’t need to navigate your different online accounts to get the information you need.

myGov is for everyone

We’re committed to ensuring myGov leaves no one behind and it remains safe, secure and accessible to everyone who uses it.

Government services are accessible to everyone

We know everyone has different circumstances and needs. We’ll continue our work to understand people’s complex needs and explore new approaches to create inclusive digital services.

Keeping myGov safe and secure

Our work to protect myGov from fraud and cyber threats and make it more secure and resilient is ongoing. We continuously review, update and maintain myGov, identifying and addressing emerging fraud and cyber security threats.

Do what you need in the channel that works for you

We’re focused on supporting connected end-to-end experiences, so whether you use a digital device, a phone, or visit us in a service centre, no one is left behind.

Research, listen, test

We’re undertaking customer research as well as co-designing and testing new solutions so that we can better understand how you use myGov, what works well and what needs improving. We will use whole-of-government frameworks and standards for customer design, research and inclusion to underpin what we do.
