Victor Michael Dominello (born 30 July 1967 in Ryde, New South Wales), is an Australian former politician who was the New South Wales
Minister for Customer Service in the second Berejiklian ministry from April 2019, and in the Perrottet ministry until March 2023.[1][2][3] Dominello is a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, representing the electorate of Ryde for the Liberal Party from 2008 until his retirement in 2023.
He had previously served as the Minister for Finance, Services and Property in the first Berejiklian ministry between January 2017 and March 2019;[4] as the Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation between April 2015 and January 2017 in the second Baird government;[5] as the Minister for Citizenship, Communities and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs between 2011 and 2015, and the Minister for Veterans Affairs and Assistant Minister for Education between 2014 and 2015, in the O'Farrell and first Baird governments.[6][7]
After a career as a solicitor and local councillor, Dominello was elected to the Parliament of New South Wales following a Ryde by-election triggered by the resignation of his predecessor John Watkins. The by-election saw Dominello receive a two-party swing of 23.1 points.[8] Dominello increased his margin at the 2011 election;[9] however, the margin was reduced to 11.5 points at the 2015 state election.[10]
He is recognised globally[citation needed] for the role he played transforming public sector delivery in NSW through initiatives such as the Department of Customer Service, Service NSW and the Digital Restart Fund.
During his time in Government, Dominello built a reputation for delivering a number of highly successful digital products, including the FuelCheck app, the ServiceNSW app, ParknPay and Digital Drivers Licence.
Dominello has been credited with helping NSW to become a global leader in digital government services and constantly outranked the other Governments in Australia and New Zealand to lead the Intermedium Digital Government Readiness Index for six years running.
