Reporting Serious Underperformance

To Submit a Serious Underperformance Report to the DTA you should either:

  • use the digital webforms if the information to be included in your Forms has an assigned Security Classification of up to Official: Sensitive
  • download the Word version of the Forms if you have assigned a Security Classification of PROTECTED to the information to be included in your Forms. Once you have populated the Forms you will need to Email the Forms together to the DTA at DSUP@dta.gov.au.

Submitting both Forms via one of the appropriate methods outlined above will ensure the DTA has visibility of your self-assessment rationale along with the detailed Serious Underperformance Report.

If you have assigned a Security Classification above PROTECTED, you will need to Email the DTA at DSUP@dta.gov.au to make alternative arrangements for the submission of your Serious Underperformance Report.

For more information refer to the DSUP Guidance, including information on:
