Chief Information Officer Forum (CIOF)
Introduction
The Chief Information Officer Forum (CIOF) is a consultation and information sharing forum consisting of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) of agencies not represented on the Chief Information Officers Committee (CIOC). It provides advice to the CIOC and the Secretaries' ICT Governance Board (SIGB).
Objectives
The objectives of the CIOF are to:
- Provide advice on the priority issues that have been identified by the SIGB, from the perspective of agencies that are not represented on the CIOC;
- Share information about better practice approaches and key strategic issues being faced by agencies in their use of ICT to facilitate better government; and
- Explore and pursue collaborative and cooperative opportunities.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee of the CIOF plans the Forum meetings with input from members. The Committee currently comprises members from the following agencies:
- Comcare
- Austrade
- The Treasury
- Geoscience Australia
- National Film and Sound Archive
- Civil Aviation Safety Authority
- Australian National Audit Office
Meetings
The CIOF meets three times a year. Meetings are hosted by member agencies.
Membership
Membership of the CIOF is available to the CIOs or their equivalents of Australian Government departments and agencies. Where the function of CIO is split, two people from the department or agency may join.
