Are you a woman looking for a career that’s both challenging and rewarding? The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is calling on women with a sense of adventure to explore exciting opportunities in law enforcement.
The AFP is hosting a free online information session, “Women in Policing and Protection”, where a panel of female officers will share their experiences as protective service officers (PSOs), national police officers, and ACT police officers. The event will also feature insights from the AFP Recruitment team, offering a unique chance to learn about career pathways, benefits, and the vital role women play in the force.
Attendees will hear firsthand about the day-to-day realities of AFP officers, the challenges they overcome, and the unwavering support available to women in policing. The session will also provide an opportunity to ask questions and be inspired by real-life stories of courage, commitment, and success.
As Australia’s national policing agency, the AFP plays a critical role in protecting lives, livelihoods, and national interests, both at home and abroad. The agency tackles serious and organised crime, counter-terrorism, and cyber threats, working closely with domestic and international partners to safeguard the nation.
With a strong history dating back to 1917 and officially established in 1979 following the Sydney Hilton Hotel bombing, the AFP has evolved into a dynamic, cutting-edge law enforcement agency. Commissioner Reece P. Kershaw APM envisions the AFP as an agile, innovative, and progressive police force, one that reflects the diversity of the community it serves.
If you’ve ever considered a career in policing, now is the time to step forward. This free session is your gateway to discovering a career filled with purpose, adventure, and the chance to make a real difference.
