Some of our GovCMS projects

AUSTRAC

The website for AUSTRAC, Australia's financial intelligence agency, required a robust and secure platform to manage sensitive information while ensuring ease of use for a diverse range of users. Leveraging GovCMS, we developed a secure, scalable, and user-friendly site that adheres to the highest standards of accessibility and compliance.

NABERS

For the NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) project, we transformed their digital presence by redesigning and rebuilding their website on the GovCMS platform. The project included comprehensive content migration, usability testing, and the integration of key tools like the reverse calculator. The result was a more intuitive, accessible, and functional user experience, reflecting NABERS' commitment to sustainability and environmental performance.

APRA

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) website is a critical resource for financial industry regulation. Our work with APRA involved enhancing their digital platform to ensure seamless access to regulatory information and tools. By utilising GovCMS, we were able to deliver a site that is not only secure and reliable but also responsive and easy to navigate for both industry professionals and the general public.

Department of Industry, Science and Resources: Gambling Research Australia (GRA)  

Digital Garden partnered with Gambling Research Australia (GRA) to reinvigorate their digital presence by redesigning and developing their website on the GovCMS PaaS platform. This project was essential in ensuring that GRA’s online presence not only aligned with modern digital standards but also effectively communicated its mission to stakeholders across the country.
