Organisational structure
The Secretary of Defence and the Chief of the Defence Force jointly manage Defence as a diarchy. The term ‘diarchy’ reflects the individual and joint responsibilities and accountabilities of the Secretary and the Chief of the Defence Force in ensuring that Defence meets Australian Government requirements. The manner in which the diarchy operates is described in directions given to the Secretary and the Chief of the Defence Force by the Minister for Defence. Figure 2.2 shows the elements and relationships of Defence organisational structure as at 30 June 2020.
