Update: 2025-12-19
Description
Despite new funding for national security investigations, the Australian Federal Police Association (AFPA) warns of chronic staff shortages, affecting the agencys ability to combat high-harm crimes and maintain officer well-being. The AFPs counter-terrorism unit is short by one hundred people, with each officer responsible for twenty to thirty individuals on a watch list. The AFPA welcomes the funding but emphasizes that the staffing crisis is putting unsustainable pressure on their members, with internal investigations also facing issues due to the shortage of sworn officers.
