The strategy aims to achieve the continued provision of essential services that support Australia’s national security, economic prosperity, and social and community wellbeing in the face of all hazards.
A key imperative of the strategy is to have an effective business-government partnership with critical infrastructure owners and operators.
The TISN is one avenue of engagement for this business-government partnership.
The Trusted Information Sharing Network (TISN) for Critical Infrastructure Resilience provides an environment where business and government can share vital information on security issues relevant to the protection of our critical infrastructure and the continuity of essential services in the face of all hazards.
The TISN agenda is driven by critical infrastructure owners and operators from seven Sector Groups. In addition, two Expert Advisory Groups provide advice on broad aspects of critical infrastructure requiring expert knowledge.
Gaining a better understanding of cross-sectoral issues is a key focus of the Sector Groups.
Each group of the TISN embraces the concept of critical infrastructure resilience (CIR), which is integral to achieving a disaster resilient community.
Business provides resources, expertise and many essential services on which the community depends.
This includes critical infrastructure providers, who make an important contribution to disaster resilience by understanding the risks they face and ensuring they are able to continue to provide services to the community during or soon after a disaster.
