The Sydney workshop on Monday 6 May was a constructive and collaborative session. Thank you to everyone who attended, your ability to wear 'different hats' on the day was impressive.

We understand it has not been possible for all interested parties to attend the in-person workshops, both due to capacity and travel constraints.

In order to finalise the first draft of the Framework, there are a number of ways to provide feedback and input, beyond participation in the workshops themselves:

• We invite the community to participate offline in self-led sessions. Attached are the materials (instructions and activity pack) prepared for the workshops:
  • Standards Assessment Framework Workshop Activity Instructions.pdf
  • Standards Assessment Framework Workshop Activity Pack May 2024.pdf
  • When you have completed the activity, please feel free to share the outcomes with us by posting on this issue or emailing elizabeth.arnold@consumerdatastandards.gov.au.
• We are open to bi-lateral conversations on your experience of applying the Framework to a change. If you are interested in arranging a session with the DSB please email naomi.gilbert@treasury.gov.au or elizabeth.arnold@consumerdatastandards.gov.au;
• We will be holding separate Data Holder and Data Recipient group sessions to work through aspects of the Framework that have a distinct impact on your participation type; and
• A workshop session to input feedback from DSAC members will be incorporated into the June meeting.

The closing date for feedback on the Draft Framework is COB on Wednesday 12 June 2024.

In terms of next steps, following the compilation and synthesis of feedback from all of the above sources:

• A proposed final Standards Assessment Framework will be presented to DSAC in August for final comments and feedback.
• The final Framework will be incorporated into the DSB's business processes. The Framework, alongside any broader impacted processes, will be captured and published in an update on Noting Paper 345.
• The Standards Assessment Framework, along with DSBs business processes, will evolve through continuous improvement practices and ongoing contributions from the community are welcomed.
