The criteria
The Digital Service Standard consists of 10 criteria. Each criterion is accompanied by:

- your responsibilities in meeting it
- when it should be applied within the Service design and delivery process
- suggested activities to apply it
- further resources and guidance.
The Data and Digital Government Strategy sets a 2030 vision for:
'the Australian Government to deliver simple, secure and connected public services, for all people and business, through world class data and digital capabilities.'
