"In 2018-19, identity crime directly and indirectly cost Australia an estimated
A$3.1 billion.

To address such costs, the federal government is proposing a national digital
identity scheme that will let people prove their identity without having to
share documents such as their passport, drivers licence or Medicare card.

Finance Minister Katy Gallagher opened consultations for the draft bill last
week, with plans to introduce the legislation to parliament by the end of the
year.

Let’s look at what it proposes, and what it could mean for you."
