The Department of Home Affairs is responsible for centrally coordinated strategy and policy leadership in relation to domestic national security arrangements, law enforcement, emergency management, counter-terrorism, social cohesion, the protection of our sovereignty, the integrity of our border and the resilience of our national infrastructure.

The Australian Border Force, an operationally independent body within the Department of Home Affairs, is Australia's frontline border law enforcement agency and Australia's customs service. The Australian Border Force's mission is to protect Australia's border and facilitate the legitimate movement of people and goods across it.

**Overview of the Branch and Section**:
The Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre was established on 1 September 2021 to drive an all hazards regime of critical infrastructure protection enabled by a stronger focus on cyber security. The Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre delivers a best practice, industry-focused, active and engaged regulatory and partnership function that works with industry to ensure Australia's critical infrastructure protection.

The Risk Assessment Branch sits within the Centre’s Operations Division and is responsible for telecommunications security and national security risks in the energy, water, transport, food and grocery, telecommunications, health, government, and banking and finance sectors.

The Risk Assessment Branch is responsible for advising government and industry on national security risks to protect Australia’s critical infrastructure. The Branch works with agencies across the National Intelligence Community to develop national security advice, response and action to mitigate identified risks. We also work closely with critical infrastructure owners and operators across all sectors who best understand their asset and how to protect it.

Risk assessments within the Branch take a number of forms:

- We assess risk in line with obligations under the Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2017 and the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018
- We assess risk from a strategic perspective to inform our approach to manage risk across Australia’s critical infrastructure sectors.

There are a number of EL1 vacancies across the Cyber and Infrastructure Security Centre.

Energy, Water and Food Security Risk

The Energy, Water and Food Security Section is responsible for conducting assessments to assist in protecting Australia’s critical energy, water and food and grocery infrastructure from national security risks.

In particular, the Section works closely with federal agencies as well as energy market bodies to identify and manage national security risks to the energy sector given its criticality to Australia’s economy and national security. The Section is also provides risk advice in regard to foreign acquisitions of energy, water and food and grocery infrastructure as referred by the Foreign Investment Review Board.

The electricity sector is currently undergoing extensive transformation including significant new infrastructure investment and the increasing interconnection of traditional energy grid infrastructure with new information and communication technologies. This presents new opportunities for hostile actors to compromise or disrupt critical energy infrastructure.

Telecommunications Security Risk

The Telecommunications Security Risk Section works in partnership with industry and other government stakeholders to assess national security risks to the telecommunications sector and provide advice to Government. The section administers Part 14 of the _Telecommunications Act 1997_, also known as the Telecommunications Sector Security Reforms (TSSR). It responds to formal notifications that carriers and carriage service providers (C/CSPs) submit under their TSSR obligations, and provides guidance so C/CSPs can maintain competent supervision and effective control over their networks and facilities.

Transport Security Risk

The Transport Security Risk Section is responsible for conducting assessments to assist in protecting Australia’s critical transport infrastructure from national security risks. The Transport Security Risk Section accomplishes this by producing a range of strategic and analytical products to inform industry awareness and departmental decision-making in response to t
