The PSPF Guidelines provide best practice advice to help Australian Government entities to implement the requirements of PSPF Release 2024.

The PSPF Guidelines detail recommended approaches that represent best practice and are optional for entities to implement using a risk-based approach. Entities are not required to report on compliance with recommended approaches detailed in the PSPF Guidelines.

The PSPF Guidelines are subordinate to the PSPF Release, and reference a number of Australian Government standards, frameworks and manuals.
