Services

Public Sector Solutions We Develop for Australian Agencies

We partner with teams who need clarity, pace, and defensible delivery, from discovery through production operations.

E-Government Portal Development

Accessible, secure, WCAG-conscious web portals that make services easier to find and complete. We integrate with agency identity and eligibility patterns, including pathways aligned with Australian Government digital identity programmes, multilingual content where required, and structured data handling suited to public-sector interoperability.

Citizen-Facing Mobile Applications

Native and cross-platform apps so citizens can complete tasks, receive notifications, and interact with agencies from their devices, engineered with strong security and offline-first patterns where connectivity is uneven.

Government Software & Workflow Automation

Custom software that digitises internal processes, document management, case management, and inter-agency handoffs, reducing paper bottlenecks, improving traceability, and shortening processing times.

Data Security & Compliance Solutions

Encryption, least-privilege access, audit logging, and secure storage architectures designed to meet rigorous public-sector expectations, including alignment with the Australian Privacy Principles, protective marking, and IRAP-style assurance workflows when your programme requires them.

Cloud Infrastructure for Government

Cloud architectures on Australian or sovereign regions where your data residency and sourcing policies require it, enabling secure collaboration, disaster recovery, and elastic scale without sacrificing operational control.

FAQs

Q: How does Dev House Australia protect sensitive citizen data and comply with local cybersecurity guidelines?

We implement strict cybersecurity controls aligned with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Essential Eight guidelines and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). We encrypt citizen data in transit via TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 keys managed through Azure Key Vault. We configure multi-factor authentication (MFA) via Microsoft Entra ID, establish granular role-based access control (RBAC), and enforce continuous threat monitoring, protecting government portals from unauthorised entry.

Q: Are your government IT solutions designed to meet WCAG accessibility standards?

Yes, inclusive public access is a primary mandate for all public sector portals. We design and build citizen portals and public websites to comply strictly with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2 AA). This includes screen-reader optimisations, clear typography contrast ratios, responsive layouts for all form factors, and complete keyboard-only navigation pathways, ensuring equal access for all members of the public.

Q: Can you integrate custom citizen portals with federal identity services like myGovID?

Yes. We design and build secure API bridges and identity federation layers that connect custom front-ends with the federal myGovID and Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM) frameworks. This integration enables secure, verified identity checks and digital credential management, simplifying user registration and transactional authentication across public departments.

Q: How do you guarantee data sovereignty and local residency for public sector software?

We deploy all public sector systems, transactional databases, and document vaults exclusively within sovereign Australian datacentres (Sydney and Melbourne regions) of certified hyper-scalers like AWS or Microsoft Azure. This setup guarantees that all sensitive citizen records and departmental assets remain resident on Australian soil, meeting federal privacy laws and local public records mandates.

Q: What post-launch SLA support models do you provide for government agencies?

We deliver structured Service Level Agreements (SLAs) tailored to the uptime requirements of government agencies. Our ongoing support covers real-time system monitoring, automated database backups, database index tuning, and regular security patching. We operate from local Australian offices to provide immediate response capabilities, ensuring your public systems remain secure, performant, and perfectly aligned with evolving regulatory updates.
