Major supermarket giant Woolworths has thrown its support behind legislation that would formalise a digital identity in Australia.

Woolworths said it is “supportive” of measures that promote “enhanced use of digital ID services.” The company said it is keen to offer digital ID for customers “as soon as we can safely and securely do so.”
