The Strategy brings together legislative and regulatory settings with the Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN) to deliver nationally aligned and integrated initiatives. Deep industry‑government partnerships underpin activities to ensure they support the interests of Australia’s critical infrastructure community.

The objectives of the Strategy are to:

1. Support critical infrastructure owners and operators to effectively manage risks to business continuity through mature risk based and resilience approaches.
2. Deliver initiatives through strong and effective industry–government partnerships.
3. Support critical infrastructure owners and operators to strengthen their security and resilience through regulatory frameworks, tools and improved information sharing.

The Strategy is accompanied by the 2023 Critical Infrastructure Resilience Plan which outlines national activities the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre (CISC) will undertake to deliver upon the Strategy.

The Plan has three streams of activities:

1. Extend and enhance the TISN.
2. Support TISN members uplift critical infrastructure security and resilience.
3. Support critical infrastructure owners and operators to meet their regulatory obligations.
   

Many of the activities outlined within the Plan will be led by the CISC in partnership with the critical infrastructure community through the TISN. The contribution of critical infrastructure owners, operators and all levels of government are critical to ensure the success of the Strategy and Plan.
