Digital Service Providers Australia New Zealand (DSPANZ), formerly ABSIA, is the non-profit industry association representing the world class business software sector in Australia and New Zealand.
Our members range from large, well-established companies through to new and nimble innovators who are working at the cutting edge of
business software and app development on both sides of the Tasman.
Over the years, our industry has helped streamline and transform payroll, superannuation, tax, accounting and finance operations by delivering new, secure digital solutions. This work is helping to fuel the digital economy while improving user experiences and government policy outcomes.
We have a proven track record of helping government agencies consult and work with the business software industry on major policies and projects that require technology-led solutions and change to business to business or business to government processes.
If you are scoping out or working on a project that relates to Single Touch Payroll, e-invoicing, superannuation or digital identity, for
example, we can help you design and deliver better policy and user experience outcomes.

DSPANZ helps grow the dynamic, world class business software sector in Australia and New Zealand by:
- Sharing knowledge, expertise and industry updates;
- Building strong networks in Australia and New Zealand;
- Connecting government and industry to solve challenges together;
- Engaging with government on behalf of members to inform policy outcomes;
- Enabling consultation for members on B2G and B2B initiatives.
