The Future of Transport Registration and Licensing in Australia

The transport sector is on the brink of a massive transformation. This shift demands immediate action from governments to become dynamic and adaptable, fully equipped with the right tools to excel in a data-rich, AI-enabled environment. Currently, many regulators are operating on outdated, heavily customised legacy systems from the late 20th century. This poses a significant 'technology gap' that must be addressed without delay.

Governments across Australia and globally are already embarking on major technology upgrades and modernisation strategies. The Future of Transport Registration and Licensing in Australia report outlines the critical changes needed in registration and licensing (R&L) systems and provides a roadmap for regulators on their journey towards modernisation.

To successfully navigate future changes, a unified view of required business and technology capabilities is essential. Our report introduces a reference architecture for R&L, supporting regulators in their modernisation efforts. This framework, found on page 6 of the downloadable PDF report, facilitates interstate and global dialogue, promoting shared lessons and best practices.

Modernising legacy R&L systems is crucial and involves more than just replacing old technology with new. It requires careful discernment of which areas to transform, phase out, and introduce new capabilities.

In the report, we outline four key technology 'plays' that can be strategically applied across various components and timelines of the R&L landscape. This mosaic approach allows for tailored solutions that evolve over time, ensuring long-term value and minimising future technical debt.
