Cyber Policy Coordinator

Overview
The role of the Australian Cyber Policy Coordinator (CPC) is to coordinate the whole-of-government approach to cyber policies and activities. The CPC provides strategic leadership and coordination on matters of cyber policy and strategies across the entire cyber "spectrum", from online consumer protection to cyber defence. The Cyber Policy Group (CPG) is the primary forum for whole-of-government leadership and coordination across the full-spectrum of cyber policy issues.

To assist in coordinating the Commonwealth's cyber policy agenda, the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet assumed responsibility for cyber security policy in December 2011 (previously held by the Attorney-General's Department), as part of a broader reshuffle of portfolio responsibilities.
