Mr Gray said it was always good to get a positive response to the call for nominations and this year 56 had been received across the three Award programs: 2012 Excellence in eGovernment Awards, ICT Professional of the Year Award and the Government 2.0 Innovator Award.
He said that among the finalists was the Bureau of Meteorology, with both its Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric and Next Generation Forecast and Warning System Project progressing to the next round of judging in the Excellence in eGovernment Awards’ Geospatial category.
He named the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) as finalists in the Project and Management category, while the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Fair Work Ombudsman both advanced in the Service Delivery category.
Mr Gray said the APS was also well represented among the ICT Professional of the Year finalists, with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s Entry Assessments Project Team progressing to the next stage of judging along with the Department of Defence’s Network Infrastructure Development Team.
“What is particularly pleasing to hear was that the number of nominations received from across all the three levels of government was relatively evenly balanced,” Mr Gray said.
“We received 20 nominations from Commonwealth agencies; 21 nominations from State agencies; and 15 from Local Government bodies.
“I think these figures show that Australia’s pool of ICT talent crosses all government sectors.”
He said the winners would be announced on 23 May and a full list of finalists was available from this PS News link.
