ASIO provides the intelligence edge. Our intelligence professionals collect and analyse information to help stop terrorists and catch spies.
Intelligence professionals apply exceptional judgement, critical thinking and logical reasoning, and demonstrate personal and professional resilience.
We recruit intelligence professionals through specialist rounds and the Intelligence Development Program. If you are interested, read more about the program, and listen to first-hand experiences of ASIO officers.

Some roles are only available in Canberra, while others can be performed from or are based in other capital cities around Australia. We will provide financial assistance if you are required to relocate.
