govCMS comes with a range of included services such as support, monitoring and security patching, aimed at ensuring that government websites remain online and available to the public. It's is intended to support more effective web channel delivery functions within government, and enable agencies to redirect effort from non-core activities to activities that are more aligned with core agency missions.

The Government Content Management System (govCMS) is an important service offering for Australian Government agencies. It represents a tangible implementation of the Government's policy for eGovernment and the Digital Economy, which sets the direction to simplify Government ICT and eliminate duplicated activities across agencies by requiring use of shared or cloud services where minimum efficient scale hurdles are not met.

The govCMS website is managed by the Department of Finance. As a central agency of the Australian Government, the Department of Finance (Finance) plays an important role in assisting government across a wide range of policy areas to ensure its outcomes are met, particularly with regard to expenditure, financial management, and the operations of government.
