The Attorney-General's Department released internal briefing documents (FOI24/558) regarding the integration of state and territory Proof of Age (POA) cards into the National Driver Licence Facial Recognition Solution (NDLFRS) for identity verification purposes. Documents detail progress across jurisdictions: South Australia and Northern Territory have uploaded POA data (NT with limitations for linked driver licence holders); New South Wales intends to upload upon NDLFRS participation; Victoria and Tasmania did not upload POA cards; and discussions continue with Western Australia, Australian Capital Territory, and Queensland regarding uploads. The department plans to make POA cards available incrementally as Participation and Hosting Agreements are finalised rather than awaiting complete national dataset availability. The documents are marked "OFFICIAL" with redactions claimed under section 22(1) (irrelevant material).
