NSW Government Data Strategy
Delivering data for better outcomes.
Minister's Foreword
Good data is at the heart of effective decision-making in modern, agile and accountable governments. Enabled by a data-driven understanding of our community, the NSW Government is better equipped to deliver on essential services and reforms. This includes addressing cost of living and housing, boosting frontline services in areas like health and education, and supporting the wellbeing and prosperity of our communities and businesses.
The NSW Data Strategy’s five missions will ensure that Government’s data needs are met now and into the future. It sets out a vision for data as a shared asset for improving community wellbeing. The missions are dedicated to delivering meaningful insights, safe, ethical and efficient data management, shared and accessible data, and a skilled and capable workforce. Through the Strategy we are also building mature and sustainable data systems that embrace and adapt to new technologies.
As a community, we trust our data is managed safely and used responsibly so that risks to data safety and privacy are managed and minimised. The NSW Data Strategy lays the foundations for safe, ethical data use, and continuous improvement in data skills and practices for delivering the data, insights and evidence that is essential to building a better NSW.
