About the Organisation
At the core of the Australian Government's operations, the Department of Finance plays a pivotal role in supporting diverse policy areas and ensuring effective outcomes through the Budget process. This central agency advocates for leading practices in public sector resource management, governance, and accountability frameworks. Additionally, Finance advises the government on strategic priorities, including optimal arrangements for managing and owning public assets.
Areas of Focus
The Department of Finance structures its operations around four key functions as outlined in its Corporate Plan:
1. Budget and Financial Reporting
2. Business Enabling Services
3. Commercial and Government Services
4. Governance and Resource Management
Scenario

3. Retrieve user information from Azure AD for use on the Launchpad, including displaying last login info and access to apps.
Challenges:
