Giving First Nations people a unique path into a career with the AFP

At the Australian Federal Police (AFP) we value the unique perspectives and lived experiences of our First Nations people. The AFP is seeking motivated individuals interested in launching a fulfilling career with Australia’s leading law enforcement agency.  

The AFP is offering a wide range of roles and opportunities through the AFP’s Directions Program. As a team member in the AFP you will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful and life-impacting policies, programs and practices that shape the security landscape of Australia. This includes roles in health and wellbeing, investigations, canines, cyber-security, intelligence, corporate support, protection, workforce planning, media and communications. 

We are an inclusive organisation, providing the opportunity for all Australians to fairly gain employment with the AFP. We appreciate that everyone is unique and acknowledge that diversity in thought leads to greater transparency and improved consideration in our decision making. To support our employees we also provide flexible work arrangements.
