Funds release to upgrade our technology for improved services

This paper seeks agreement to release a fund of $68.5 million set aside in Budget 2024 for a system upgrade. The upgrade will be implemented as our Frontline Technology Systems Upgrade (FTSU) programme.

The Minister for Children’s priority is to ensure we focus on the safety of children and young people in our care. One way we will maintain this is by upgrading the technology used each day by our staff.

Upgrades to our frontline systems will improve the quality and performance of our work. It will also improve how we can be held accountable. This contributes to the government's broader goal of delivering better public services.
