The Australian Democrats, the Australian Labor Party and privacy groups continue to hold serious concerns regarding the federal government's proposed Access Card, after a re-draft of the legislation was released on Thursday last week.
Government officials have left open the possibility the incoming health and social services access card might one day be used for a range of applications and identity checks following an industry briefing on Wednesday.
One of the year's biggest tender opportunities has hit the market with the Office of Access Card issuing its systems integrator request for tender (RFT), part of the AU$1.1 billion health and social services access card.
The government today kicked off its search for 'advisors' that will help ensure its AU$1 billion smart card project is built on relevant technology and delivered to budget.
Government officials have told potential suppliers for the AU$1.1 billion health and social services Access Card to forget providing "bleeding-edge technology" ahead of the first request for tender early next month.
