The Australian Cyber Response Plan (AUSCYBERPLAN) outlines the Australian Government’s various cyber incident response coordination arrangements, describes response activities covered by those arrangements, and identifies the departments and agencies responsible for those arrangements.

AUSCYBERPLAN is the national plan for cyber incident hazards categorised as crises under the Australian Government Crisis Management Framework (AGCMF).

The AGCMF defines cyber incidents and designates the following for coordinating responses to cyber incidents:

• the Minister for Cyber Security as the Lead Minister
• the National Cyber Security Coordinator (the Coordinator) as the Lead Coordinating Senior Official
• the National Office of Cyber Security (NOCS) in the Department of Home Affairs as the Australian Government Coordinating Agency.
