How did we test the data asset?

A calendar icon with '2 years' written on it and a document that has 'Pilot' written on it and a thumbs up and a thumbs down icon.

We spent 2 years testing how the data asset would work.

We call it the Pilot.

A person holding a sign. It has an image of a thumbs down icon with an arrow pointing to a thumbs up icon.

A pilot is a trial that helps us find out what:

  • works well
  • needs to be better.

The Pilot tested the best ways to:

A document with data on it being given to somebody.

  • share data

2 data icons with a linking icon above.

  • link data

A person using a computer.

  • find and use data.

5 governments worked together to run the Pilot:

An Australian government building.

  • the Australian Government

There is a government icon and a map of Australia. New South Wales is highlighted and has a location icon over it.

  • the New South Wales Government

There is a government icon and a map of Australia. Victoria is highlighted and has a location icon over it.

  • the Victorian Government

There is a government icon and a map of Australia. South Australia is highlighted and has a location icon over it.

  • the South Australian Government

There is a government icon and a map of Australia. Queensland is highlighted and has a location icon over it.

  • the Queensland Government.

A map of Australia and a document that has 'Pilot' written on it. The ACT is highlighted and has an arrow pointing to it.

The ACT Government also helped with the Pilot.

An information icon with a disability icon and a badge icon that says 'New'.

The Pilot showed us new information about people with disability.

An icon with '18%' written on it with a downwards arrow above a person with disability and a person without disability.

For example, we learned more about young adults with disability who work full time in South Australia.

They earned 18% less than people without disability who worked full time.

This kind of information could help governments make this gap smaller.
