Australia's Counter-Terrorism Strategy and National Counter-Terrorism Plan ensure that Australia is one step ahead of terrorist acts.
Safeguarding Our Community Together - Australia’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy 2022
Our strategy to prevent terrorism and violent extremism outlines Australia’s counter-terrorism environment and what our government is doing to respond.
The purpose of Australia’s counter-terrorism effort is to safeguard Australia, its people and its interests from the harms of terrorism and violent extremism. This will be achieved through:
-
countering violent extremism in all its forms by preventing radicalisation of individuals before an attack takes place, and rehabilitating and reintegrating violent extremist offenders
-
equipping our law enforcement, security intelligence and other operational agencies with the resources and powers to tackle terrorist threats
-
ensuring our counter-terrorism arrangements are resilient, collaborative, consistent and proportionate both nationally and internationally.
