About ASIS

The Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is Australia's overseas intelligence

collection agency. We are Australia's experts at collecting highly sensitive information –

secret intelligence – from sources overseas to keep Australia and our region safe and

prosperous.

Our work spans continents and cultures. As a tech-powered and data-driven organisation,

we use covert techniques and cutting-edge technology to put us in the right rooms, next

to the right people, with the right access to the intelligence we need. We are tasked to

collect intelligence – it might be political, military or economic information – deliberately

withheld from the Australian Government that might present threats to or opportunities

for Australia.

From graduates to career changers, we come from every corner of the country and all

walks of life, with backgrounds from all around the world.

Regardless of our ethnicity, experiences and education, we're bound by a shared

commitment to something bigger: building a better future for those who come after us.

We seek to reflect the community we serve, and welcome applications from Aboriginal and

Torres Strait Islander peoples, women, people with disability, neurodiverse, people from

culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those who identify as LGBTQIA+.

It's a mission owned by everyone, with opportunities for all.
