The Government will provide $7.1 million in capital funding over four years to implement an integrated and client-focussed information technology application framework, known as Cúram, within the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. This investment will ensure that the department’s systems are responsive, reliable and cost effective.
The Government will also provide related funding of $3.2 million for development, support and maintenance of Cúram and associated applications. The cost of implementing this new framework will be offset by ongoing savings in administration and programme costs arising from the improved information technology framework.
