The Enterprise Committee Governance Structure was approved in December 2018.
The Structure and supporting framework has been designed to recognise the significance of Defence’s deliberations and decisions on strategic policy, intelligence and military operations and the commitment to work health and safety.
It introduces a tiered approach to enterprise committees, with a 3 tiered model aiming to take decisions to the lowest level, increase accountability and streamline decision making.
