Why Swift Digital?

For government departments (even more than for most business organisations), privacy and security are primary concerns when selecting communication and marketing channels. Our automated marketing platform is designed with this in mind: all data servers are located here in Australia and we are fully compliant with all anti-spam and privacy laws. We are government-accredited in many states.

This makes us well-positioned to handle the unique marketing requirements of government departments: from event management and email marketing to online surveys, mobile marketing, and more.

We’ve been doing this since 2001 and have helped thousands of Australian organisations – from banks to universities – centralise and automate their communication and marketing strategies.

Your data is safe with us!

All our data servers are located in Australia and we are fully compliant with Australian anti-spam and privacy laws.

The Swift system has added a level of sophistication to our events, and an enhanced guest experience. It was exactly what we were looking for! We may be of slight bias, but of all the invitations we’ve received in the past year, we haven’t come across a better system.
