The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) has announced that it successfully released two of its primary products to Western Australian Digital Strategy Roadmap 2022.
Under the State Government Digital Strategy, DMIRS was allocated funding to improve public access to its services with a single sign-on solution for people to act on behalf of another person, a commercial arrangement or a volunteer organisation.
According to the Department Executive Director, Strategic Business Innovation, Julie de Jong, My Account, the single sign-in solution, has been rolled out to some of the Department’s online systems.
“My Account is now live for our Geophysical Survey Index, or MAGIX, and the new FuelWatch website,” Ms de Jong said.
“These customers are able to use the same sign-in information for each service while protecting their personal information with modern sophisticated cybersecurity and privacy measures and practices,” she said.
“An additional My Account feature is sign-in using a social or federal account,” she said.
“This means FuelWatch and MAGIX customers can access their accounts using their myGovID, Facebook or Google credentials.
“Currently, 24 per cent of our My Account customers are using this new feature.”
Ms de Jong said plans were underway to integrate My Account across more State Government services over the next three years in conjunction with the WA Relationship Authorisation Manager (WARAM).
“These advancements will allow customers to interact with any Government Agency in their personal or professional lives, with one digital identity,” Ms de Jong said.
“DMIRS is very proud to be a critical part of progressing Western Australia towards a more secure, sustainable, and inclusive digital future.”
She said the customers would be able to use the same sign-in information for each service while protecting their personal information.
