The remit of the Data and Insights Branch is to evolve the way the department produces and uses data, analytics and research, to underpin evidence-based policy development, service delivery, and wellbeing outcomes. The branch fosters a culture of curiosity in data and research, establishing processes that enable the department to better understand and serve the needs of veterans and their families.
The Data & Actuarial Analytics Section is currently engaged in the development of many strategic projects, which are high-profile and high-value to the Department. The team uses longitudinal data and advanced analytics across an array of predictive modelling and free text analytics projects. Working collaboratively with the Australian Government Actuary (AGA), various service providers, and experts, we analyse and interpret actuarial results to support evidence-based policy development. The team leverages comprehensive, veteran-centric data to understand the lifetime trajectories of clients and to evaluate the effectiveness of new policies in improving financial and social outcomes. The team also uses information to identify specific cohorts who may benefit from early interventions to help inform targeted services and government funding.
The position works in close collaboration with a broad forum of experts including actuaries, data specialists, financial officers, policy analysts, and researchers to complete high-quality work. Projects include machine learning applications such as text mining and microsimulation models, evaluation of programs and policies, developing wellbeing measurements, and data-driven client segmentation.
