Digital Knowledge Exchange
The Digital Knowledge Exchange brings states and territories together to grow the digital workforce
The Digital Knowledge Exchange (DKX) was established to address the critical challenge of developing digital skills across Australia. While states and territories have made significant progress through their own initiatives, DKX aims to enhance these efforts by enabling collaboration and connection.
DKX serves as a platform that brings together state and federal governments, industry partners, and stakeholders to share knowledge and best practices, thereby supporting the scaling of effective workforce initiatives.
Central to this effort is the DKX Governance Group, which includes representatives from each state and territory. The Governance Group facilitates knowledge sharing through a series of Round Tables, while DKX Working Groups focus on key joint initiatives.
Through this collaborative approach, DKX aims to support the development of a stronger, more inclusive, and future-ready digital workforce across Australia.
