Government

Connected public services, designed around the community

CVT helps government organisations modernise citizen engagement through secure cloud communications, omnichannel contact centres, digital self-service, responsible AI and integration with government business systems.

Our approach

We start with your service challenges, not the technology

Australian government organisations are under increasing pressure to deliver simpler, more consistent and citizen-centred services. We begin with your customer journeys and operating environment, then design, implement and support practical solutions that improve access, employee effectiveness and service outcomes.

Security and data sovereignty

Genesys Cloud has completed an Infosec Registered Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment up to and including the PROTECTED level, assessed against the Australian Government Information Security Manual. We can help you work through the controls, data residency and assessment evidence your agency requires.

Service areas we work across

In local government we support a broad range of council service areas:

  • Customer Service and Corporate Services
  • Rates, Revenue and Local Laws
  • Building, Planning and Permits
  • Waste, Depots and Facilities
  • Libraries, Recreation and Box Office
  • Maternal and Child Health, Aged and Disability Services
  • Animal Management and Shelters
  • IT and Digital Services
Key use cases

What we help government organisations do

01

Create a consistent resident experience

Give residents a consistent experience across voice, email, web chat and messaging. Route enquiries according to customer need, employee skills, service area, location, priority and operating hours.

02

Automate common service requests

Help residents complete common requests such as missed-bin reports, hard-waste bookings, rates enquiries, permits, planning enquiries, animal management requests and facility bookings. Where automation is not appropriate, the interaction transfers to an employee or is lodged in the relevant system.

03

Connect interactions with council systems

Use caller identity to locate and present the relevant customer or property record, integrating with systems such as TechnologyOne, Infor Pathway, Civica Authority, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce — subject to available APIs and security controls.

04

Expand digital self-service and responsible AI

Provide round-the-clock answers to common questions through voice and digital bots, automate appropriate transactions, and transfer customers to an employee with authentication status, enquiry reason and conversation context retained.

05

Strengthen emergency and after-hours services

Establish priority routing, on-call escalation, emergency announcements, overflow arrangements and alternate service pathways during extreme weather, local emergencies, planned outages or unexpected disruption.

06

Connect workplace and operational devices

Support council locations with desk and cordless handsets, wireless DECT coverage, SIP integration with existing intercom and gate-release systems, and analogue services across offices, depots, libraries and recreation centres.
