WHO WE ARE

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is Australia’s Commonwealth primary law enforcement agency. Our vision is “to fight crime together and win”, and our mission is to provide dynamic and effective law enforcement to the people of Australia.

MORE ABOUT US

In addition to its Commonwealth law enforcement function, the AFP provides policy capability in the ACT and external Territories, assists international law enforcement and security agencies and participates in foreign peacekeeping activities.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We look for employees who seek a challenging but meaningful career, and who operate both officially and privately with the highest professional standards to safeguard the integrity of our organisation. We also seek employees who respect and reinforce our values of integrity, commitment, excellence, accountability, fairness, trust and respect and who seek to promote unity rather than uniformity.

WHERE WE ARE

National Headquarters is located in Canberra, with offices in most capital cities

OPPORTUNITIES

Uniform roles include Community Policing, Airport Policing and Protective Service Officers. Specialist non-policing roles include corporate and operational support, intelligence, scientific and technical roles. The AFP runs a Trainee program for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, and a Graduate Program.

The AFP consistently demonstrates that it has an inclusive culture and continually strives to improve its approach to workforce diversity and LGBTI inclusion practices.

The AFP prioritises diversity and we recognise the importance of ensuring that our workforce reflects the community we serve. The AFP undertakes a number of annual LGBTI inclusion activities, including supporting our award-winning AFP Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officers (GLLO) Network which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2016. These efforts are underpinned by the AFP’s core value of respect.

My sexuality journey occurred whilst working for the AFP and I was pleased to discover that the acceptance of who I was (and still am) as a person did not change during this journey. The AFP consistently demonstrates that it has an inclusive culture and continually strives to improve its approach to workforce diversity and LGBTI inclusion practices.
