BSA | The Software Alliance (BSA) and the Global Data Alliance (GDA) welcome the opportunity to submit comments to Australia’s Department of Finance on its draft Digital Identity Bill 2023 (Digital ID Bill) and the accompanying draft Digital Identity Rules 2024 (Digital ID Rules). We welcome the Government’s efforts to develop legislation for an economy-wide Digital ID system. We note that one of the draft legislation’s policy objectives is to ensure that accredited Digital ID providers keep personal information private and secure.
