“As we come to the end of the public hearing program, a clear message has emerged from witnesses: cyber security support should be actionable, targeted and accessible for small and medium sized businesses and organisations,” Committee Chair Sally Sitou MP said.

“The remaining hearings will continue to examine how Australia’s small to medium sized businesses and organisations can be better supported by the Australian Government, with a focus on the different needs across sectors.

“We’ll meet with representatives from the insurance, telecommunications, health, education, early childcare, finance, legal and IT sectors.”
