Minister for Government Services and the National Disability Insurance Scheme Bill Shorten is set to reveal the next step in the government’s move towards Digital Identification. Labor is calling it the Trust Exchange (TEx), and it is designed to give Australians more control over their personal data.

Minister Shorten will officially announce TEx at the National Press Club on Wednesday afternoon. The initiative promises significant changes to how data is handled for both consumers and businesses.

What is the Trust Exchange (TEx)

TEx is a system that allows individuals to verify their identities and credentials using official information already held in MyGov.
