VANguard, managed by the Australian Government's Department of Industry, Science, and Resources (DISR), provides a secure and convenient way to verify who you are and the organisation you represent on Dataplace.
VANguard authenticates user credentials (e.g., kim.smith@agency.gov.au) and matches these credentials with your organisation without needing a username or password.
Most Australian Government agencies are already setup with VANguard for authentication across various government applications. If you are unsure if you organisation or agency is using VANguard, we suggest you contact your ICT services area.
To request VANguard for your organisation please email VANguard.Customer@industry.gov.au to request an Identity Provider form. You may need assistance from your IT team to complete it.
Most organisations only require a single ABN access; however, VANguard provides organisations the ability to establish multiple ABN authentication. Portfolio agencies may seek to establish 'multi-ABN' to ensure user access to Dataplace is from the specific entity the represent and not their parent entity or portfolio agency.
There are instances where there are multiple organisations operating from a shared services arrangement. For example, the Australian Public Service Commission relies on ICT services from the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, however, are an independent entity.
To establish 'multi-ABN access, your ICT services area should contact the Department of Industry, Science and Resources at: VANguard.Customer@industry.gov.au and request a multi-ABN Authorisation form and the FAS IdP Onboarding guide.
Agencies trying to register their ABNs with VANguard may risk losing PDMS access if they do not correctly list their ABN/PDMS tenant.
To maintain uninterrupted PDMS access, agencies should have a representative liaise with the Parliamentary Workflow Solutions (PWS) team at pwsagencysupport@finance.gov.au and VANguard at VANguard.Customer@industry.gov.au
