This draft Digital Investment Plan (Version 0.1, February 2026) from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade sets out DFAT's ICT strategy across three horizons from 2026 to 2036. It covers the current state of corporate and business applications, three ICT strategic priorities, and a 10-year roadmap. New policy proposals include ICN Stabilisation, a three-year plan to stabilise the existing ICN environment; the DFAT Digital Uplift Program, addressing cyber vulnerabilities; and enhancements to the Foreign Arrangements Scheme online portal. The plan lists key vendors with contract durations ranging from two to ten years, including Telstra, DXC Technology and Salesforce, and identifies risks such as cyber-attacks, vendor dependence and legacy systems. Most investment figures, application details and some risk descriptions are withheld under section 47E(d) of the FOI Act.
