The Department of Finance and Deregulation
Finance is a central agency responsible for advising on and implementing many key Government priorities. We play a pivotal role in driving forward initiatives which, when in place, will help transform how the Australian Government conducts its business.
Our role is to help the Australian Government achieve its policy objectives by contributing to four key outcomes:
- sustainable Government finances;
- improved and more efficient Government operations;
- efficiently functioning Parliament; and
- efficient use of information and communication technology by the Australian Government.

Our Valued Behaviors form the cornerstone of our organisational culture and are to be upheld throughout our organisation - both in language and in action. They are an extension of the APS Values and Code of Conduct.
