What is GOVIS?

  • Government Information Systems Managers’ Forum (GOVIS) began in 1991 and became an incorporated society in 2007.
  • GOVIS is an all-of-government network run by volunteers.
  • Staff in GOVIS member organisations participate for free in our forums and events and annual GOVIS conference at a discount.
  • We discuss all aspects of technology and information operations and strategy.
  • GOVIS does not seek to shape or promote policy. GOVIS is issue-neutral so there is no conflict with our roles as public servants, serving the Government of the day impartially.
