The purpose of the campaign is to:
- raise traveller awareness of SmartGate (an automated passenger processing system utilising ePassports);
- encourage travellers to choose to use SmartGate;
- increase current usage; and
- guide travellers how to use it before they arrive at the Customs border.
The use of SmartGate is voluntary as eligible travellers have the option of being processed manually by a Customs Officer.
- Public communications programs that are accompanied by specific and measurable performance information drive continuous improvement. This information can also be used to determine whether continuing the program(s) represents a proper use of public resources.
- The accuracy and completeness of information provided to the Parliament, public and industry on major government investment programs is essential to supporting transparency and users of the information. Where investment programs continue over many years, progress reports should be reconcilable with previously released information.
- Where programs will have a large impact on the public, such as the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, entities should develop a communications strategy that considers the information needs of all people and the need to tailor messages across a variety of channels (such as social media) and languages.
