Revolutionising Identification: The Success Story of the Award-Winning Queensland Digital Licence App by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Developed by Code Heroes
Amid the constantly shifting world of technology and innovation, the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has set a new standard with its groundbreaking Queensland Digital Licence app, recognised as an ABA100® Winner for Tech Innovation in The Australian Business Awards 2024. This accolade not only celebrates technological ingenuity but also underscores the commitment of TMR and its development partners, to revolutionise identification processes and enhance user experience.
At Code Heroes, we are immensely honoured to have created the Queensland Digital Licence app with Thales Group, a global leader for data transport and security, that enabled Queenslanders to securely provide government issued photo identification through their digital devices. The journey from conceptualisation to realisation has been a testament to our team's dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit. Being part of this transformative project has been a source of great pride for us, as we witness the app's positive impact on hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders.
User-Centric Design and Accessibility: A Key Pillar of Innovation
The Digital Licence app represents a paradigm shift in how identification and verification are conducted in today's digital age. With over 700,000 users in Queensland now embracing digital alternatives to traditional physical licences, the app has streamlined processes, enhanced security measures, and empowered individuals to manage their information with ease.
One of the key features of the Digital Licence app is its user-friendly interface, designed with a human-centred approach to ensure seamless navigation and accessibility for all users. Importantly, the app had to be accessible to all users and meet accessibility guidelines. Whether it's verifying one's identity, age, or authority to perform specific functions like driving a vehicle or vessel, the app offers a comprehensive solution that aligns with international standards and best practices.
Security Measures: Safeguarding Your Identity
The app's compliance with ISO IEC 18013-5 underscores its commitment to security and data protection. Users have full control over their information through a consent-based sharing model, coupled with advanced verification options such as PIN and Biometric login.
This level of security, combined with offline functionality and easy transfer between devices, ensures a robust and reliable user experience.
The success of the Queensland Digital Licence app can be attributed to TMR's forward-thinking approach to modernising services for Queenslanders. By embracing Digital transformation and User-centric design principles, TMR has not only addressed the challenges associated with physical licences but has also positioned Queensland as a leader in innovative identification solutions within the transportation sector.
Evolving User Experience: Feedback Loops in Action
The app's reception by users has been overwhelmingly positive, with its cost-effective, user-controlled, and adaptable features resonating with a diverse range of individuals.
The Queensland Digital Licence app has set a new standard for identification solutions in today's digital era, and it owes its success to a combination of its original creation and ongoing enhancements fuelled by user feedback.
TMR proactively requests for Queenslanders to share their insights through different platforms, equipping them with tools to actively participate in moulding the app's evolution.
Empowering Queenslanders: From Passive Users to Active Participants
The award-winning app represents a significant shift in the way Queenslanders interact with their identification documents. It empowers individuals by giving them control over their personal information and how it is shared. Through a consent-based sharing model, users can choose when and with whom they share their digital licences. This level of control ensures that Queenslanders can protect their privacy while still meeting the necessary requirements for verification.
