Counter-terrorism arrangements in Australia
Terrorism remains a serious threat to Australia, and Australia's counter-terrorism strategy is continually evolving to address the security environment.
In recent years, Australia has critically reviewed its national security arrangements and introduced a range of important measures and reforms. Australia's enduring counter-terrorism aim is to protect Australians and Australian interests. The Australian Government seeks to achieve this by:
- working with state, territory and local governments, businesses and the community to build an effective nation-wide counter-terrorism capability; and
- contributing to regional and wider international counter-terrorism efforts
In support of achieving its counter-terrorism goals and principles, The Australian Government's counter-terrorism strategy is based on prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.
