The Australian Government has handed down its 2020–21 Budget. The Budget includes measures our portfolio will implement as part of the Government’s COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the global and domestic contexts in which we operate. As Australia rebuilds, our portfolio will play a central role in the Government’s commitment to:
- reopen and strengthen the economy
- create jobs
- pave a clear road ahead for the nation
To support the Government’s agenda and secure future growth, we are leveraging and building on Australia’s strengths by:
- investing in high value-add manufacturing
- locking in lower energy costs
- investing in clean technology and emissions reduction
- building our resources industries
- accelerating digital uptake by Australian businesses
- making the most of our national science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) capabilities
We will collaborate across government and work in partnership with the private sector to support economic recovery.
