This submission to the Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Cyber Security sought approval for amendments to the Financial Framework (Supplementary Powers) Regulations 1997 to establish legislative authority for grant programs under the 2023-2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy. The key program identified is the Professionalisation of the Cyber Workforce Grant Program, allocated $1.9 million over two years (2023-24), designed to develop world-class cyber workforce capability and strengthen sovereign capacity. The submission notes these programs are significant deliverables under the Strategy's Horizon 1 implementation goals and emphasizes timely 2024 delivery. The minister agreed to the proposed amendments and authorized signing correspondence to the Minister for Finance seeking inclusion of the items in Schedule 1AB of the regulations, following standard constitutional and legislative authority assessment processes conducted by the Australian Government Solicitor.
