The problem to solve
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted all visa holders entering and leaving Australia, including those with strict visa conditions. To communicate the new policy decisions and the impacts on visa holders, the Department of Home Affairs needed to provide updates to Australia's immigration and border arrangements during the COVID-19 outbreak, which couldn’t be serviced through their existing channels, or be rolled out quickly enough.
How we solved it
With the need for rapid development and deployment, as well as the ability to have a coordinated content publishing workflow with governance, the Annex team worked with GovCMS to setup a new website on the GovCMS SaaS platform in under 24 hours. By go-live the Home Affairs content team were able to populate and publish their COVID-19 content effectively. We created a comprehensive information architecture to guide users through the site and to the most pertinent information for them.
