For Australia, cyber and critical technology are foreign policy priorities.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) leads Australia’s international engagement on cyber and critical technology across the Australian Government. This work is coordinated by Australia’s Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology.
