The nature of the AFP and what is required of it has changed significantly in recent years. Once a small agency with a defined remit, the organization now has a broad range of national and international responsibilities. The AFP has established itself as a critical player in the Australian security landscape, rising to complex challenges and responding swiftly to protect Australians as new threats emerge. The AFP prides itself on demonstrating leadership and agility in a dynamic operating environment.

While the AFP continues to evolve to meet the growing challenges, it faces, policing and protecting life and property will always be at the core of its business. It will continue to pursue strategies to prevent and disrupt crime, focusing on transnational, severe, complex, and organized crime, cybercrime, cyber safety, child protection, the recovery of the proceeds of crime, and countering terrorism and violent extremism.

The AFP's role is to enforce Commonwealth criminal law, contribute to combating complex, transnational, serious, and organized crime impacting Australia's national security, and to protect Commonwealth interests from criminal activity in Australia and overseas. The AFP also has responsibility for providing policing services to the Australian Capital Territory and Australia's territories, including Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Norfolk Island, and Jervis Bay.

The AFP works closely with other law enforcement and government agencies at the state, territory, Commonwealth, and international levels, enhancing safety and providing a secure regional and global environment.
