The Next Generation Digital Connectivity initiative was awarded the Best Telecommunications and Media Project at the 2024 iTnews Benchmark Awards.
The Next Generation initiative is key to the NSW Connectivity Strategy, which aims to bridge the digital divide for communities in NSW.
The initiative explores innovative solutions to connectivity challenges and aims to enhance technology and provide digital connectivity and emergency assistance for people affected by disasters.
A NSW Connectivity Strategy initiative - the NSW Digital Connectivity Index - also received recognition and was a finalist for Best State Government Project.
The Index helps to inform priorities, digital inclusion initiatives and digital infrastructure investments within the state.
The iTnews Benchmark Awards honour Australia's best IT initiatives and the innovation and value they have delivered to government, industry and the public.
