Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025) for Risk Managers
What does Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025) require of a Risk Manager?
The Australian Government's data governance framework for public service agencies (Department of Finance, September 2025): seven key aspects of data governance (strategy and planning, privacy and safeguarding, organisational structures and the four key data roles, leadership, culture, technology, data utilisation) and a 20-item checklist for an agency's data governance strategy or statement. Under Australian Government Data Governance Framework (2025), which defines 30 controls, a Risk Manager's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
