"Home Affairs is developing a Face Verification Service which matches
a person's photo against images used on one of their evidence of
identity documents to help verify their identity,"
"the first phase of its new biometric Face Verification Service (FVS)
is up and running, giving a number of government departments and the
Australian Federal Police the ability to share and match digital
photos of faces." Initially, the system was fairly limited. It only
included photos of people who had applied to become Australian
citizens. And use of the database was supposed to be limited to a
handful of government agencies with a compelling need for it. But
since then, the government has steadily expanded the system. Photos
from other sources were added to the database. And Australia has been
trying to develop a more sophisticated Face Identification Service
that can identify unknown persons. "The Face Verification Service is
not yet fully operational," the government acknowledges. "Whilst it is
intended to be made available to private sector organizations in
future, this will be subject to the passage of the Identity-matching
Services Bill 2019 which is currently before Parliament."
