Why Choose Apple in Government?
MacBook Airs in council chambers. iPads in frontline health. iPhones in field operations. Bit by bit, Apple is reshaping the technology stack of Australia’s public sector—and it’s happening faster than most people realise.
Behind the scenes, government teams are discovering what creative industries and fast-moving businesses already know: Apple devices are secure, simple to manage, and built for today’s mobile-first workflows. And with platforms like Apple Business Manager and modern MDM tools in play, they’re finally enterprise-ready at scale.
🛡️ Security That’s Certified, Not Just Sleek
Government IT teams are under increasing pressure to safeguard sensitive data—without slowing down their users. Apple delivers:
Hardware-level encryption and Secure Enclave chips in every device
Gatekeeper and System Integrity Protection to defend against malware
On-device AI and biometric login for seamless yet secure access
Why it matters:
These features are on by default and tightly integrated. For IT teams, that means less patchwork and more confidence—especially in compliance-heavy departments.
🧰 MDM + Apple Business Manager = Fleet Control
Gone are the days of manually configuring devices. Apple now plays nice with enterprise deployment tools. With Apple Business Manager (ABM) and your MDM of choice (like Jamf, Mosyle, or Intune), you can:
Enforce security policies fleet-wide
Push apps and settings automatically
Lock or wipe devices remotely
Fully configure new devices with zero-touch deployment
Rocketbox tip:
Public sector IT teams are loving zero-touch for field teams, health centres, and mobile workers—no travel required, no downtime.
📱 A Familiar Interface for All Staff Levels
Apple’s strength has always been usability—and in government, that matters. From frontline workers to finance officers, teams get:
A clean, intuitive interface they already know
Fewer training headaches for new hires
Built-in accessibility tools for all abilities (VoiceOver, Dictation, Zoom, etc.)
Why it works:
Less confusion = less support = more capacity for your IT team.
🔁 Longevity + Low Total Cost of Ownership
Yes, Apple devices might cost more up front. But they:
Last longer
Hold value better
Require less IT intervention over time
Add in centralised updates, lower malware risk, and long-term OS support, and the lifecycle ROI is hard to ignore.
