Dot point is the Australian English term for what most of the world calls a bullet point — a single item in a bulleted or dotted list. In meetings, presentations, and official documents across Australia, dot points are the go-to format for breaking information into digestible chunks. The phrase has also developed a slightly satirical edge, used to mock corporate or bureaucratic communication that reduces complex ideas to a handful of terse, context-free dot points.
