A range of cross-cutting and corporate activities is undertaken aimed at providing efficient, responsive internal management services and overall internal and external program coordination and communication to support the good management and effective operation of the various output-oriented activities of the Bureau.

Cross-cutting and corporate activities include five components. The largest is Management Services, which provides Bureau-specific management services (personnel, finance, supply, property and works, industrial, legal, health and safety) via units located in the Head Office and each Regional Office. Executive Management includes the activities of the Bureau Executive and Regional Directors and their immediate support staff along with the Bureau’s corporate planning and coordination functions. A small Public Education Program supports the various output activities through development of public information and educational material on the role of the Bureau and on the effective application of meteorological services. The Bureau of Meteorology Training Centre (BMTC), which includes the National Meteorological Library, is responsible for the Bureau’s internal training activities. It meets the specialist in-house training and staff development needs of the Bureau in collaboration with relevant tertiary education institutions and provides operational meteorological training to Defence, aviation and other external personnel, including approved overseas students under the auspices of relevant international programs. Supporting research and development includes that component of the Bureau’s overall research and development effort carried out in conjunction with ongoing operations as a direct support for their continuing scientific development.

The Public Education, Training and Executive Management activities are coordinated by the Bureau's Executive and International Affairs Branch, and Management Services are coordinated by the Management Branch. Supporting research and development is carried out as an integral part of most of the scientific and technical activities of the Bureau in both Head Office and the Regions.
