child sexual abuse offences under Part 10.6 and Part 10.7 of the
Criminal Code. Home Affairs leads certain aspects of Australia’s
international advocacy to combat cybercrime, including
representation for the Council of Europe Budapest Convention on
Cybercrime and initiatives which relate to cross-border access to
communications data . It also leads the development of policy on
the cyber security of critical and emerging technologies, including
leading the Government’s efforts to lift the security in the Internet
of Things.
The Critical Infrastructure Centre (CIC) within the Department of
Home Affairs addresses the national security risks from foreign
involvement in Australia’s critical infrastructure through direct

Government to provide guidance to critical infrastructure owners
and operators on mitigating these risks, including through the cyber
vector, to Australia’s critical infrastructure assets.

the Australian Cyber Security Centre to help build a stronger picture
of the cybercrime landscape. The ACIC’s role includes working with
partners to assess and prioritise cybercrime threats impacting
