Pilot Cyber Professionalisation Framework Consultation
AISA is leading this important consultation on the proposed cyber security professionalisation framework, working with our members and in collaboration with consortium partners ACS, AWSN and Aus3C from the CyberPath Professionalisation Project. We are conducting a series of sessions across Australia to gather industry feedback on this framework.
What Can You Expect?
- Presentation of the draft pilot framework
- Industry panel exploring key considerations and questions
- Consultation session to provide input that will shape the final framework
This is your opportunity to contribute to how cyber professionalisation takes shape in Australia. We're seeking diverse perspectives across all sectors and experience levels. Your feedback will help inform the framework's development.

AISA’s Role: Member and Stakeholder Engagement
AISA is a consortium member and will lead Member and Stakeholder Engagement across the program. Our role is to ensure that our member perspectives and the experience of the Australian Cyber workforce are actively represented throughout the pilot.
Important: AISA is not the lead organisation - our contribution is focused on representation of cyber practitioners and ensuring your voice is heard at each step of the program.
