ASIS is Australia’s overseas secret intelligence collection agency. Our mission is to protect and promote Australia’s vital interests through the provision of intelligence services as directed by Government.
The Government's capacity to make decisions, which seek to advance Australia's security, foreign relations and economic well-being, depend in large measure on the quality of available information. Intelligence is a vitally important source of information for Government and it is our role to ensure that policy assessments and decisions are made in an information-rich environment.
We are a dynamic organisation that aims to remain responsive and relevant as the geo-political, economic and security global landscape shifts and changes. We are a high-performing organisation, constantly being required by the Government to confront new challenges and take on new responsibilities. To this end, we always endeavour to ensure that our product remains accurate, insightful and timely. We are flexible and alert to new avenues of information, and to changing priorities.
We are also growing as an organisation and setting ourselves up well to manage the increased demands that Government places on us.
