The Australian Secret Intelligence Service accesses secrets, disrupts threats and helps secure Australia. 

ASIS is Australia's foreign intelligence collection agency. We collect and distribute secret foreign intelligence, information which would otherwise be unavailable to Australia, to protect Australia and its interests. 

We obtain intelligence to support Australian Government objectives. To do this, we largely rely on what we call "human intelligence" - information that comes directly from people.  

ASIS was established in 1952. While we may not be a household name, ASIS has been quietly protecting Australia and its way of life for over 70 years. For many years we did this in secret. ASIS is now well integrated into Australia's National Intelligence Community, contributing vital human intelligence that helps Australia navigate an increasingly complex world.  

Importance of confidentiality: All applications for employment with ASIS are handled in the strictest confidence. It is essential that you maintain a similar level of confidentiality and that you do not discuss your application with anyone, as this could impact your career with ASIS.
