The Australian Government is currently following caretaker conventions until the results of the 2025 election are announced. No election-related material will be available on this website. For more information about the election, please visit the relevant minister’s or party's websites.

Reporting

All non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCEs) must report to their minister and the Department of Home Affairs each financial year on security.

These reports ensure that entities continue to use sound and responsible protective security practices. This will help identify and mitigate security risks and vulnerabilities.

Online reporting portal

The PSPF reporting portal allows Commonwealth entities to:

  • complete and submit their annual protective security report online
  • access benchmarking reports at the end of the submission period
  • access assessments and reports from previous reporting periods.

PSPF assessment reporting

All 100 NCEs submitted a PSPF self-assessment report for the 2023–24 reporting period. Eight corporate Commonwealth entities voluntarily also did so.

Maturity reporting under the previous PSPF

Before 1 November 2024, reporting was done in accordance with a maturity based self-assessment framework. NCEs had to self-assess their PSPF level of maturity against the PSPF Maturity Self-Assessment Model. They also had to report on their security posture and measures taken to address identified key risks.
