The AIIA is seeking feedback to update our policy position documents as it relates to AIIA’s five policy priority areas.
With three elections (Victoria (Nov 2018), NSW (March 2019) and Federal (May 2019) coming up in the next 3 to 9 months, it is an opportune time to revisit our policy statements on: Skills, Innovation, Privacy and Security, Government Digitisation, Internet of Things (IoT).
If you would like to contribute to the updates of these documents, please send your comments through to Damien Lewis by COB 9 August2018.
Any data your organisation has gathered to support any policy statements and that AIIA can publish will be greatly valued.
