Services Australia released a ministerial event brief and related documents concerning the Trust Exchange proof of concept project, a 2024-25 Budget initiative to enable government-issued verifiable credentials in digital wallets. The brief prepared the Minister for Government Services for a November 2024 National Tech Summit speech, positioning Trust Exchange as evidence of government-industry collaboration on digital service transformation and human-centred design. The documents indicate the project involved consultation with the Department of Finance on Digital ID Policy and engagement with technology companies including Microsoft, Google, and Apple. The Australian Taxation Office received parallel funding to develop a proof of concept converting myID into a verified credential. Two documents were partially redacted under section 47E(d) of the Freedom of Information Act, likely protecting internal deliberative material or sensitive policy development discussions.
