- Canberra, ACT

**ABOUT THE BRANCH**

The Online Services Branch delivers a range of key whole of Australian Government online services such as:

- Content management and website hosting: GovCMS - govcms.gov.au
- Online directory services for the Australian Government: directory.gov.au

The Branch’s purpose is to manage efficient, cost-effective services to, and for, the government. Specifically, these services assist with:

- facilitation and generation of cross-agency services and sharing
- better alignment of ICT capabilities to changing user needs
- delivering value for money in ICT investment through the leveraging of existing infrastructure and services.

GovCMS is an open source web content management system hosted on the public cloud and managed by Finance. Agencies using GovCMS are able to create and manage websites cost effectively, in compliance with Australian government standards. GovCMS combines a Drupal content management system with a website hosting system. There are two product offerings available to agencies using GovCMS: a fully managed software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, and a self-managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering that just provides web hosting.

GovCMS is community-based, designed by government for government. We deliver services to government of all jurisdictions, with a growing customer base of over 100 agencies. We support and host in excess of 340 government websites representing most portfolios, and state and territory governments.

The services we provide are in line with policies to eliminate duplication and encourage shared or cloud services. The Branch also manages the initiation and development of new, cost effective, innovative and practical ICT services.
