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.
