   General Manager

   The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO)
   works across government to maintain Australia's position as a leader
   in the productive application of information and communications
   technologies to government administration, information and services.

   AGIMO fosters the efficient and effective use of information and
   communications technology (ICT) by Australian government departments
   and agencies. It provides advice, tools, information and services to
   help Australian government departments and agencies use ICT to
   improve administration and service delivery – often referred to as
   e-government. AGIMO also works with governments and other bodies at
   the local, state, national and international levels to develop and
   maintain Australia's position as a world leader in e-government.

   AGIMO is led by a General Manager, also titled the Australian
   Government Chief Information Officer, Ms Ann Steward.
