Services Australia released seven documents (partially) establishing its protective security framework under the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework. The materials include Chief Executive instructions requiring staff familiarity with security plans, compliance with cyber security policies, and timely incident reporting. A February 2020 appointment instrument designated the Chief Operating Officer as Chief Security Officer with responsibilities spanning personnel and asset safety across the agency's operations (including Centrelink, Medicare, and Child Support services). The Chief Security Officer's delegated powers encompass appointing Security Advisors, establishing security procedures and crisis management protocols, embedding security awareness training, monitoring security assurance measures, and preparing annual security maturity reports to identify vulnerabilities. The framework applies to staff, contractors, visitors, and customers. Substantial portions were withheld under sections 47E(d) and 47F(1), protecting operational security details and sensitive protective measures.
