Our rolling approach replaces our five-year strategy cycle with a more adaptive response to our most important customers – 24 million Australians. It ensure we can deliver on our purpose to solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology. 
Two key themes from our new approach to strategy are reflected in this Corporate Plan: the six challenges and Domain + Digital. These are captured and represented in our new Challenges and Digital Transformation Program.
