Jobs

If you're thinking of a career within the AFP, becoming a protective service officer is a great place to start. You won't regret it. It truly is a great job and you can make it work for you.

Sarah
Protective Service Officer, Specialist Protective Command

I joined the AFP because it's an agency recognised for valuing its staff, their background and who they are. The AFP allows me to reconnect on so many levels. For me that is going home when I need a break, taking my shoes off, connecting to country and pressing the reset button. This really helps me on my journey working and living off country.

The AFP gives you all the training and tools you need, and there is a great culture of mentoring too. You could be an alien to intelligence and analysis, but if you’re willing to do the work and ask questions, you’ll have no problems.
