This is a fantastic result for both IBSA and the Sentencing Advisory Council (SAC), and we both look forward to participating in the next phase of the program, which is the National awards. This is the second year in a row that IBSA has been recognised at the iAwards for our innovation and quality

Below the Honourable Robert Clarke, Attorney-General, Minister for Finance and Minister for Industrial Relations comments on the solution:

Below Professor Arie Freiberg discusses the importance of the SACStat solution:

The iAward is presented for outstanding ICT innovation dedicated to delivering improved government service delivery to the community.  In the words of the judging panel, they received an outstanding number of quality nominations and they were inspired by the caliber of ICT innovation that was nominated. The minister commented in his address that the iAwards theme of “Driving Productivity through Innovation” was key to the success of Australia at a state and national level.

Chief Judge, Jim Ellis, AO, commented on the calibre of this year’s iAwards winners stating, “The iAwards focuses on innovation, so it’s no surprise that this year’s winning entries clearly differentiated and demonstrated uniqueness in their category as the best in their state.”

Mr Ellis led more than 80 judges  for  this year’s iAwards program. “All of the Victorian winners are shining examples of their local industry,” he added.
