DSPANZ provided a submission to the Treasury's consultation ahead of the Economic Reform Roundtable on 28 July 2025.
In this submission, we provided several proposals for the government to consider as part of the Economic Reform Roundtable, including:
- Implementing business and government eInvoicing mandates.
- Establishing a "Digital Economy Regulator" to oversee the data and security standards required for interacting across the Australian digital economy.
- Creating a roadmap for addressing and updating relevant legislation and regulations to accept Digital ID, alongside continuing to collaborate with stakeholders to support the adoption and use of Digital ID.
- Introducing AI guardrails to support the adoption and use of AI technologies within business software, enabling businesses to meet their regulatory obligations.
- Requiring states and territories to adopt a common approach to calculating long service leave.
DSPANZ also recognised that DSPs will be integral to delivering reforms that change business or employment processes raised through Economic Reform Roundtable and requested that the government consult with industry in the policy ideation phase.
