The Australian Border Force's mission is to protect Australia's border and facilitate the legitimate movement of people and goods across it.

The ABOC unifies operational capabilities of the Department of Home Affairs and the ABF into the planning, execution, coordination and management of national ABF activities and operations across the entire border continuum.
