2.5 Technical Reference Model
The Technical Reference Model (TRM) is a component-driven, technical framework categorising the standards
and technologies to support and enable the delivery of services and capabilities. It also unifies existing agency
TRMs and whole-of-government guidance by providing a foundation to advance the re-use and standardisation
of technology and service components from a government-wide perspective.
Aligning agency capital investments to the TRM leverages a common, standardised vocabulary, allowing interagency
discovery, collaboration and interoperability. Agencies and the Australian Government will benefit from
economies of scale by identifying and re-using the best solutions and technologies to support their business
functions, mission and target architecture. Refer to Figure 2-7 for the TRM structure.
