About our Team
Defence has adopted a federated approach to enterprise data governance. A federated data governance model can be described as a 'hub' and 'spoke' model.

For Defence, the central 'hub' represents the Data Division under the leadership of the Chief Data Integration Officer (CDIO) and the central 'spoke' for Finance Group being the Directorate of Financial Information Management (DFIM).

This means that the execution of data governance and management practices are decentralised ensuring flexibility for the Groups and Services accommodating their respective needs.

DFIM plays an active role as custodians of the finance data assets.

This includes oversight, standardisation and coordination of data governance, establishing foundational data management practices and capabilities, articulating data requirements, facilitating data sharing, improving and maintaining data quality, establishing curated datasets and integrated data warehouses and supporting analytics and business intelligence teams across DFG.DFIM operates a small but evolving team out of Victoria Barracks Melbourne.
