Good afternoon, 

The Digital ID Bill has passed through Parliament and the new Digital ID Act 2024 is expected to commence by 1 December 2024. The Department of Finance is finalising the four-week period of public and stakeholder consultations regarding updated exposure drafts of the Accreditation and Digital ID Rules (Rules) and the Accreditation Data Standards (Standards), which are expected to be made by the Minister for Finance for commencement of the legislation.  

The consultation process has been live since Tuesday, 28 May and is set to conclude on Tuesday 25 June 2024 when all written submissions are due.  

You are welcome to join us on Wednesday the 19^th of June 2024 at 9:30am to 11:30am to ask any questions or provide feedback on the Rules and Standards that are out for consultation before the consultation closes. This webinar session will also provide you with some general themes of feedback we have received to date from other digital ID engagements held throughout the consultation period.
