Roles
The Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council acts as a focus for partnership between IT professionals across government. Its membership is drawn from the wider public sector - central government, local government, and agencies in fields such as health and policing.
The CIO is charged with creating and delivering a government-wide CIO agenda to support the transformation of government and to build capacity and capability in IT-enabled business change, whilst balancing government-wide agendas with accountabilities in line organisations.
Structure
The Council is chaired by the Government CIO - The CIO team performs a secretariat function. Council membership is exclusively the province of the full Council.
