Criminal justice

We work together to stop serious and organised crime in Australia.

Drugs

The abuse of illicit or illegal drugs is a high-risk activity that causes social, economic and personal harms.

We work with agencies including Australian Federal Police, Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, and Department of Health.

Firearms

The Australian, state and territory governments share responsibility for firearms in Australia.

We administer the granting of permission to import certain types of firearms and firearm-related articles

Organised crime

Serious and organised crime is a national security threat that costs Australia at least $36 billion each year.

The Department of Home Affairs is the central policy, legislative and coordinating agency for the Organised Crime Strategic Framework.
