Answer

I am advised that the Government Digital Delivery Agency (GDDA) officials work closely with the Australian Digital Transformation Agency (DTA). The GDDA has reviewed the DTA’s Copilot trial as well as the Copilot trial undertaken by the UK government and has applied learnings from these trials.
