About the team
The Unify Team builds and operates the core digital platform that frontline Service NSW staff use to deliver assisted services to NSW residents. Unify enables staff in service centres, contact centres and mobile service centres to complete complex transactions on behalf of customers, integrating with multiple partner agencies and systems.

This includes projects such as large scale grants, worker and licence checks, and cross agency integrations.
The team culture is highly collaborative, outcome-focused and pragmatic.
