Cable Connectivity and Resilience Centre
The Australian Government announced the Cable Connectivity and Resilience Centre in May 2023 as Australia's contribution to the Quad Partnership for Cable Connectivity and Resilience. The Cable Centre aims to position Australia as a trusted partner for countries in the Indo-Pacific (South and Southeast Asia and the Pacific). DFAT's early outreach has identified a clear need for assistance regarding undersea cable issues, particularly in Southeast Asia.

The Cable Centre will seek to leverage Australia's whole-of-government experience to help Indo-Pacific governments reform their relevant policies, regulations and decision making.
The Cable Centre sits within the Connectivity and Infrastructure Policy Branch (IFB) in the Office of the Pacific in DFAT.
The Connectivity and Infrastructure Branch
IFB is the DFAT-wide focal point for infrastructure policy and likeminded infrastructure engagement. In addition to the Cable Centre, IFB manages DFAT's engagement in key infrastructure investments such as the Coral Sea Cable System and Digicel Pacific, including related financial and legal arrangements. IFB also manages engagement with likeminded financiers to deliver high quality infrastructure in the Pacific infrastructure development as well as cross-cutting telecommunication policy issues, including the rollout of new technologies in the region. In addition, IFB manages investments in media and broadcasting sector capacity building for the Pacific, working closely with external stakeholders. IFB is inclusive and supportive, and values contributions from all levels and perspectives. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is a branch priority
