Capacity Building

Australia's Cyber and Critical Tech Cooperation Program works across the Indo-Pacific to improve cyber resilience. Established as the Cyber Cooperation Program in 2016, the Program plays an important role in supporting Australia's international cyber engagement which champions an open, free and secure Internet that protects national security and promotes international stability, while driving global economic growth and sustainable development. In April 2021, the Program was expanded to include cooperation on critical technologies.

The Program supports Australia's commitment to deliver on the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which recognises the vital role of digital technologies to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
