Independent proposal for public review. Evidence date: 4 November 2026. Pilot sizes, targets and institutional roles are proposed. Baselines, institutional acceptance, quotations, specialist review and funding require confirmation before implementation.
2040 citizen vision
People and businesses obtain fair, dependable services through simple, accessible processes.
Proposed pilot and beneficiaries
Five high-volume services chosen with consenting agencies; include at least one business service and one household service.
Rationale and evidence
The earlier roadmap calls for service standards and assisted access [R2]. Existing trade-system functions [S7] illustrate why discovery and reuse precede new technology.
Delivery approach
- Map the complete application journey and remove avoidable duplicate steps after legal/process review.
- Publish required documents, fees, expected response times and an escalation contact for each service.
- Pilot status tracking and assisted access through approved systems, with staff training, privacy and recovery arrangements.
First 90 days from authorised start
Days 1–30: agency selection and process observation. Days 31–60: baseline timings, simplify forms and agree standards. Days 61–90: launch improved journeys with staff and user testing.
Months 4–12
Measure all applications, including incomplete and unresolved cases; improve bottlenecks and determine whether additional technology is justified.
Proposed accountability and competencies
Proposed lead: responsible service agencies with the public service/digital coordination authorities. Partners: frontline staff, accessibility representatives and process specialists. Skills: service design, records, privacy and change management.
Resources, funding and recurrent costs
Cost process mapping, staff training, accessible forms, approved-system configuration and support. New software requires a separate business case and authorised procurement; annual support and recovery costs must be funded.
Feasibility and expansion gate
Confirm legal requirements, identity checks, delegated authority and data security. Technology follows a tested process and an accountable service owner.
Measurement and proposed pilot thresholds
Baseline status: pending local verification for every measure. Confirm definitions, sample, reporting owner and realistic thresholds before implementation. All percentage-point changes use the same defined cohort; relative reductions are calculated against the verified baseline.

| Result · End-to-end turnaround |
Median and 90th-percentile days from initial application to resolution; show pending cases. |
Proposed: median down 30%, without worsening overdue cases. |
Service performance lead; monthly |
| Result · First-contact resolution |
Cases resolved without repeat visit or resubmission ÷ resolved cases ×100. |
Proposed: +15 percentage points. |
Agency analyst; monthly |
| Activity · Applications with visible status |
Applications with current accessible status ÷ applications received ×100. |
Proposed: 95%. |
Service supervisor; monthly |
| Activity · Staff ready for revised process |
Staff passing practical process assessment ÷ assigned staff ×100. |
Proposed: 100% before launch. |
Agency training lead; rollout |
Complementary initiative
Government Digital Interoperability and Trust: assess shared identifiers, lawful data exchange, cybersecurity and recovery standards across the five services, retaining offline and assisted options.
Proposed 2030 milestone
By 2030, successful service improvements have independently checked turnaround, accessibility, operating costs and user satisfaction.
Evidence confidence and required verification
Medium for process approach; agency baseline and legal/system compatibility pending.
