Critical Infrastructure Asset Register

Overview
The Australian Critical Infrastructure Centre's Critical Infrastructure Asset Register will capture and track information about who owns and operates the country's most critical assets in high risk sectors (currently water, ports and electricity). The need to provide information for the Register will apply to all asset owners, both domestic and foreign, in high risk sectors. The Centre will engage with asset owners in high risk sectors to assist them to meet registration requirements.

Using the information collected on the Register, the Centre will undertake proactive national security risk assessments of assets and work with all levels of government, regulators, and owners and operators as appropriate during the risk assessment process to identify and manage risks. The Centre will also consider relevant existing government information holdings.
