 Attorney-General, Robert McClelland, has launched the Australian Government’s Critical Infrastructure Resilience Strategy.
“Critical infrastructure underpins the delivery of essential services such as power, water, health, communications and banking. It supports our defence and national security and also provides the basis for our economic and social wellbeing,” Mr McClelland said.
The strategy promotes a resilient approach to ensuring the continued operation of critical infrastructure in the face of a major disaster or emergency by:
* Coordinating planning across sectors and networks;
* Having responsive, flexible and timely recovery measures; and
* Encouraging cultures that focus on providing a minimum level of service before returning to full operation.
The Strategy builds on the previous Critical Infrastructure Protection Program and has been developed with key stakeholders, including Critical Infrastructure Advisory Council members, State and Territory Governments as well as owners and operators of critical infrastructure.
