This Strategy will benefit all Australians. Families and businesses will have increased access to reliable cyber security advice and assistance. The Coalition Government will boost law enforcement’s capacity to combat cyber criminals, improve threat information sharing with industry and support initiatives to grow a skilled cyber workforce. Working in partnership with owners of critical infrastructure, the Government will bolster protecting the critical systems on which all Australians depend. Our work on ensuring Australia is cyber secure does not end here. This Strategy takes into account that effective cyber security will require an ongoing effort by all of us. The Coalition Government will continue to engage industry, state and territory governments and the public to ensure that initiatives under this Strategy support economic recovery through strong cyber resilience. This Strategy was developed with the assistance and input of the many Australians who participated in the public consultation. I would like to thank them and the Industry Advisory Panel chaired by Telstra Chief Executive Officer Andy Penn for their commitment, enthusiasm and sound advice, which has been fundamental to developing this Strategy.
