The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) is Australia's national criminal intelligence agency, with an exclusive mandate to combat serious and organised crime. The ACIC protects Australia from criminal exploitation by collecting, analysing, assessing and communicating unique, actionable and insightful criminal intelligence, and by administering national significant policing information systems and services. Through its operational and strategic insights into serious and organised crime, the ACIC supports whole-of-government decision-making across intelligence, law enforcement, policy, regulatory and legislative environments. Working closely with state and territory, national and international partners, the ACIC collects and integrates criminal intelligence to strengthen Australia’s collective ability to prevent, disrupt and respond to serious and organised crime impacting Australia.
