Secretary’s overview
As a Department we aim to meet the expectations of our Ministers and Parliamentary Secretary, and to work with our industry stakeholders and state government partners to achieve our Ministers’ priorities.
This Strategic Plan outlines who we are, and points the way to more detail on our main activities. You can view these on our website, and through direct links in the electronic version of this Strategic Plan. The plan also presents a medium term outlook across the portfolio’s operating environment. This summarises the matters which are emerging as policy challenges for the portfolio.
The plan describes our key priorities and the strategies we will pursue over the next three years. The key priorities have been agreed with our Ministers as being the areas of primary focus for the Department. The priorities will help underpin economic growth by encouraging investment, increasing innovation and achieving greater international competitiveness in Australian industry.
Plans are constructed around the best information available at the time. New challenges and opportunities will arise that are not now foreseen and the Department will need to have the flexibility to manage these. The outlook and plan will be updated regularly to make sure our understanding of our environment remains current, and the activities we are working on, relevant. To ensure you have access to the most current information, I encourage you to view this plan on our website.
