Information management

Information is a key resource. Information resources, supporting technology, and processes need to be coordinated and managed effectively. There are legal requirements to ensure we manage our resources effectively, ethically and efficiently. Our information resources are contained in the form of data and records, and in the knowledge, experience and judgment of our people and intermediaries.

We apply six basic principles to how we manage information.

Ensures information meets purpose, accessibility, legal compliance, and standards for effective information management.

We are the government's principal revenue collection agency, managing and shaping Australia's tax, excise and superannuation systems. Our actions are scrutinised by independent bodies. We consult widely and report both what we do and our results to parliament and the community.
