The Department of Finance is a Commonwealth government agency that provides strategic advice, frameworks, and services to ensure the effective and efficient management of public resources in Australia. Its responsibilities span the oversight of the federal budget, procurement and contracts, investment and funding for government programs, and the development of policies to drive accountability, risk management, and financial reporting.
It engages with businesses, government entities, and individuals by setting guidelines and legislation (including risk management, grants, procurement rules, and government property) that promote transparency, probity, and value for money in governmental operations. The Department also supports government’s regulatory reform agenda and responds to emerging issues such as climate action, digital government, and sustainability in operations.
