About the organisation

Our purpose

As Australias national policing agency we protect Australians and Australias interests. We are

committed to protecting Australian lives livelihoods and the Commonwealth; fostering trust and

confidence with our community partners and government; and maximising our impact on the

criminal environment for a safer and more secure Australia.

Our role

Our role is to enforce Commonwealth and Australian Capital Territory criminal law and protect

the Commonwealths interests from criminal activity in Australia and overseas. We work closely

with domestic and international partners to combat complex transnational serious and organised

crime which poses a serious threat to Australias national security. Under the Australian

Federal Police Act 1979 (Cth) (AFP Act) the AFP investigates state offences with a federal

aspect in partnership with domestic partners. The AFP uses its policing insights to engage

effectively with the government partners and the community to promote awareness and

resilience.

Our operating environment

The AFP continuously monitors and assesses our operating environment to ensure we can

deliver on our purpose. The various geopolitical social economic and technological changes in

our environment can affect the AFP directly and indirectly and also shape the criminal

environment as explored in the AFP Federal Crime Threat Picture. Despite these changes the

AFP strives to evolve with our operating environment to ensure we continue to keep Australians

and Australia safe.
