Technology has shifted from a relatively niche, technical policy domain to a central and contentious policy area spanning multiple government portfolios. This evolution reflects how deeply technology now influences society, the economy and geopolitics. What was once the domain of specialist agencies, has become a whole-of-government task in 2025, requiring coordination across diverse stakeholders.
The Map of Australian Tech Policy Ecosystem is designed to demystify this complex landscape. Taking a multistakeholder view, it captures the full range of stakeholders that should be included in best practice tech policy development in Australia. The Map is accompanied by an Index of Australian Government Tech Policy Responsibilities.

The Map and Index were originally developed as part of the Policy Spotlight: Navigating the Tech Policy Ecosystem: a Taxonomy and Map
The Policy Spotlight provided two critical tools to support practitioners to navigate the tech policy ecosystem:
- The Taxonomy of Tech Policy Philosophies: this framework identifies and defines 15 distinct tech policy philosophies. By delineating core philosophies, the Taxonomy equips practitioners to identify their tech policy allies, understand sources of disagreement, and discover opportunities for collaboration.
- The Map of Australian Tech Policy Stakeholders: this visual and organisational tool demystifies the complex stakeholders across Australia’s tech policy ecosystem. The Map, complemented by an Index of Federal Government tech, digital and cyber responsibilities, empowers practitioners to navigate the Australian tech policy landscape effectively.
