Roadmap
Here at GovTEAMS, we’re constantly working to improve the experience for our users. Our Roadmap gives you an insight into what we're working on. Take a look below.
GovTEAMS is giving members more options and flexibility
As the costs of providing our service are increasing across the board, we have been working on options to avoid passing on these increases, while still providing value for our members. As of 1 July 2023, GovTEAMS will be changing our inclusions;
-
Microsoft Live Events and Webinars will no longer be available. We have been actively investigating an alternative platform to host your live events - BlueJeans Events - which provides additional features, and enhanced usability, flexibility and security. Mural will no longer be available.
-
We are actively investigating an alternative, Australian owned, visual collaboration platform - Creatley, which features advanced diagramming, flowcharting and whiteboards. Storage limits for some features will apply
-
Dialing out in meetings will need to be done to a GovTEAMS account
-
Customisable add-ons will be available for purchase
These changes will only affect a limited number of people, all of which we will be contacting directly.

Connect and collaborate quickly and easily

Enhanced capabilities for Industry and other trusted Partners
Members of industry, academia, and state, local, and international governments who have verified business with the APS will soon be able to deliver more efficient and effective services through controlled, elevated privileges in GovTEAMS OFFICIAL. This enhanced access will streamline and expedite engagements between these trusted partners and the APS.
Improved technical support
We're introducing a new GovTEAMS Support Portal to let you view, update and track ticket progress. The Portal will also provide information on common issues and how you may be able to solve them quickly
Community Templates
Community Templates gives you a convenient and efficient way to create new communities quickly, reducing times and effort required to set up from scratch.
Using Templates, you can create communities with a pre-defined structure, channels and settings to accelerate and standardise your new community within seconds.
Connect with like-minded people across different Agencies
The new GovTEAMS Profile App will allow you to improve your connections with others across different agencies and industry. Update and manage your profile within Teams to help you connect with like-minded people. Reach out to people in similar roles for collaboration across different agencies.
Full email functionality coming to GovTEAMS PROTECTED
Soon, we will be rolling out enhancements to email functionality for GovTEAMS PROTECTED full-access members. Email functionality is currently restricted, but on completion of the enhancements, members will be able to send mail on desktop and iOS devices by logging into their M365 Outlook accounts using their GovTEAMS credentials. This will make it even easier to collaborate across PROTECTED environments.
