Government

Ask Just Once is an across-government ICT strategy designed to improve access to government information and services for citizens and businesses.

At the moment people seeking information or services from the government need to know which department provides it. Ask Just Once aims to change this. Information and services will be organised around customers' needs, not government structures or departments.

Ask Just Once was approved by the Government of South Australia in October 2007.

Ask Just Once — 4 Priorities

Priority 1 – Channels and access

This priority will provide a single source of information or point of contact for citizens and business whether it be the internet, telephone or a government shop. For example, all information about opening a business will be found in one place on the internet.


Priority 2 – Strengthen the front-line

This priority will give government staff the technologies and tools to help people find information and do business with the government. We’ll make information available on the internet and we’ll bring information together so our staff can respond to people’s needs more quickly and effectively.


Priority 3 – Shared services

This priority is all about standardising some of our systems, processes and computer infrastructure so we spend less money on them, and more on providing better services to citizens and businesses.


Priority 4 – Enable agile government

This priority will pool government resources to reduce duplication, simplify transactions and minimise red tape. Providing services more efficiently will make better use of tax-payers’ dollars.
