Australian Telecommunications Regulation Chart
(June 2023)
The Australian Telecommunications Regulation Chart provides an overview of the statutes, statutory instruments, rules, standards, codes and guidelines that regulate the Australian Telecommunications Industry. The chart classifies different rules and consumer protection, operational or relating to national security and law enforcement. This classification is a matter of judgement or a view of the primary purpose in some cases. The Chart contains hyper links to the many of the clear primary documents.

Security of Critical Infrastructure Compliance Work flow
(June 2022)
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 creates a regulatory framework for protection of critical Australian Infrastructure. The regulatory framework requires owners and controllers to report their interest to Home Affairs. Entities responsible for Critical Infrastructure Assets must report operational arrangements, cyber incidents and (when the rules are ready) must adopt and report regarding a Risk Management Program.
The Security of Critical Infrastructure Compliance Workflow summarizes the requirements of the Scheme. The workflow does not include the rules for Systems of National Significance nor summarise the wide rang of regulatory powers which may be exercised in relation to responsible entities by the Department of Home Affairs.

Australian Cyber Security Infrastructure Chart
(June 2020)
The Australian Cyber Security Infrastructure Chart aims to summarise publicly available information about key Commonwealth Government and related activities and programs relevant to Cyber Security in Australia at the date of publication. The intention is to create useful overview. The Chart has not been reviewed or approved by relevant agencies. Some judgement has been exercised in selecting content. The latest version is v 1.3 which now references AEMO, FIRB (due to the changes to threshold and new national security test under consultation), FS_ISAC, CyRise and some additions to APRA and ASIC. The Chart may contain some inaccuracies, errors or omissions.
