Town hall – Telecommunications Assets under the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act)
Join us in this town hall on the 19th of May 2026 2:00 – 3:00pm AEST. This will focus on obligations for Critical Telecommunications Assets under the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018 (SOCI Act).
The First Assistant Secretary of the Critical Infrastructure Risk and Regulation Division at the Department of Home Affairs will host this session.
With the evolving risk environment and strengthened regulatory framework, it is essential that asset owners and operators understand their responsibilities to protect Australia’s critical infrastructure.
The first Telecommunications Security Risk Management Program (TSRMP) Annual Reports are due within 90 days following the end of the financial year, i.e. by 28 September 2026.
This town hall will cover:
- an update on the risk environment for critical telecommunication assets
- key obligations for responsible entities under the SOCI Act
- TSRMP requirements
- reporting requirements, including incident notifications
- recent updates and regulatory priorities
- practical steps to support compliance.
Who should attend:
- asset owners and operators of critical telecommunications infrastructure
- compliance, risk, and legal professionals
- executives and decision makers responsible for telecommunications.
This is an opportunity to hear directly from government representatives, ask questions, and ensure your organisation is meeting its obligations under the SOCI Act.
