The NSW government has charged Thoughtworks with the responsibility to deliver a digital birth certificate that can operate across multiple platforms.
Thoughtworks has landed the contract to help the New South Wales government develop a national digital birth certificate. The NSW government first announced its plans for a national electronic birth certificate in April 2021. At the time, NSW Minister for Digital and Customer Victor Dominello said the aim of the initiative was to “use technology to make life easier for families, so they can spend more time with their newborn and less time dealing with government”. The state government then issued a tender last November in search for a vendor to help build the digital certificate. With Thoughtworks securing that contract, it will now be responsible for delivering a digital birth certificate that can operate across multiple platforms, including Android, Apple iOS, and as a multi-browser web app.
