This FOI release comprises four partly redacted documents from the Fraud Fusion Taskforce (FFT), a partnership of government agencies working to improve payment integrity and detect fraud in government payment programs. The material includes an extract of a May 2024 Intelligence and Operations Committee paper on data sharing, minutes of the 13 June 2024 Inter-Departmental Committee meeting, and the FFT Data Governance Framework (version 1.0, June 2024), which the Committee endorsed that day. The Framework sets out how FFT partners share datasets, the role of the Data Sharing Working Group, legislative obligations (including the Data Availability and Transparency Act 2022 and the Privacy Act 1988), ethics and human oversight principles, and annual review requirements. It states that individual agencies remain responsible for their own data policies, breach handling and legal compliance. Much operational detail is withheld. Delays in dataset exchange with the Fraud Fusion Centre are noted as under review.
