Global conflict is causing an unprecedented shock to global oil and gas supply, pushing up fuel prices for Australian consumers and businesses. The global outlook remains unpredictable and volatile. While Australia is in a secure position currently, it’s the responsibility of all governments to plan for every scenario.

The National Cabinet has agreed to the National fuel security plan to coordinate a consistent response across the Commonwealth, states and territories. The plan is designed to keep the community and business updated and provide an early understanding of further fuel security measures that may be required. The collective approach is guided by four levels. The plan outlines the indicative settings in each level.

Levels

1. Level 1: plan and prepare
2. Level 2: keeping Australia moving (current settings)
3. Level 3: take targeted action
4. Level 4: protecting critical services for all Australians.
