What uptake target, if any, has been set for the Govt.nz app, and is the app currently meeting that target?

Answer

The previous Minister for Digitising Government set a target of 2 million downloads of the govt.nz app by June 2028. I am advised that downloads are expected to increase as digital credentials are issued by both public sector and private sector organisations later in 2026. I refer the Member to the publicly available information on the Public Service Commission website at the following link: https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/assets/DirectoryFile/Driving-down-the-cost-of-digital-in-government-Implementation.pdf
