The Defence Annual Reports address the Department of Defence and the Australian Defence Force (ADF), which are collectively referred to as Defence. The primary purpose of annual reports of departments is accountability, in particular to the Parliament. Annual reports serve to inform the Parliament (through the responsible Minister), other stakeholders, educational and research institutions, the media and the general public about the performance of departments.
The Defence White Papers are the Australian Government's principal policy direction to the Department of Defence. They present long-term strategic direction, government commitments and future capability requirements. Within Defence, the White Papers inform the development of more detailed planning, capability, workforce, preparedness and financial guidance. Defence White Papers are produced every five years.
Defence Portfolio Budget Statements provide further explanation for Senators and Members of the proposed expenditure for Defence in Appropriation Bills (Nos 1 and 2).
Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements outline additional funding requirements being sought by Defence and explain the variation between the Budget and Additional Estimates.
Strategy Frameworks seek to synchronise the formulation of strategic guidance, strategic planning for operations, international engagement, preparedness management and capability development. The current Strategy Framework was published in 2017. The first Strategy Framework was published in 2006, with a replacement released in 2010.
The Defence Updates of 2003, 2005 and 2007 were intended as regular reviews of the strategic concepts, capabilities and posture guiding the development of the ADF. They assessed the impact of any changes in the strategic environment since the previous update, and outlined the progress made in positioning the ADF to be able to meet these challenges.
