Strategic priorities
  • Shape and enhance Australia’s strategic and national interests by supporting the Prime Minister’s engagement with foreign leaders through high-quality advice and operational support for official overseas engagement, virtual meetings and Guest of Government visits.
  • Increase resilience to security threats by driving a cross-cutting, whole-of-government approach to domestic and international security, economic and technological resilience, law enforcement, and defence.
  • Enhance the delivery of defence capability through comprehensive, influential and timely advice and coordination.
  • Support the Prime Minister as chair of National Security Committee and related committees through the coordination of timely and well prioritised agendas, submissions and briefings that balance long-term strategic considerations and more immediate issues.
  • Support an open, inclusive and resilient Indo-Pacific through stronger ties with our Pacific neighbours, Southeast Asia, the Indo-Pacific region and the global community.
