Home Affairs' Cyber & Infrastructure Security Centre engaged in internal discussions during May 2025 regarding Starlink's regulatory framework and security implications. Email exchanges between the Telecommunications Security Risk team show they were developing a more prescriptive assessment document addressing Starlink's status under the Telecommunications Act. The team coordinated input from multiple branches and anticipated involving the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications (DITRDCA) for technical guidance on telecommunications regulatory requirements. The correspondence indicates the work was preliminary and undergoing refinement, with discussion of what obligations the Telecommunications Act framework imposes on Starlink as a communications service provider and the practical implications for Australia's critical infrastructure and telecommunications security.
