The Government will establish Digital Australia—a dedicated digital switchover body within the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts to coordinate and oversee Australia's transition to digital. Digital Australia will be set up as soon as practicable and be located in Sydney in close proximity to industry and ACMA.
Digital Australia will provide a clear focal point for all Australians wanting to know more about digital switchover: when it is occurring and how it is being managed. Digital Australia's objectives are to:
- educate Australians on the benefits of digital television in order to accelerate take-up and inform consumers about the need to convert to digital transmission as switchover approaches;
- identify sections of the community which may have special needs and co-ordinate efforts to meet those needs;
- harness the expertise and co-ordinate the diverse interests of industry in the switchover process (broadcasters, receiver importers, antenna installers and retailers will all be called upon to participate); and
- work closely with Government and the regulator (ACMA) to ensure Australia is able to commence switchover in 2010–12.
