PM&C provides advice to support the government's consideration of foreign and national security policy. We use coordinated, whole-of-government, and whole-of-nation approaches to meet the strategic challenges Australia faces.
Against the backdrop of intensifying strategic competition, PM&C supports initiatives which promote Australia’s interests, and deter and defend against any actions that could damage them.
We also support work with international partners to:
- tackle global challenges
- increase trade and investment opportunities
- uphold international rules
- keep our region stable
- help Australians at home and abroad.
The International and Security Group oversees foreign and national security matters from within PM&C.
