About the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS)

Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is Australia's foreign intelligence collection agency. The company collects and distributes secret foreign intelligence, information which would be otherwise unavailable to Australia, to protect Australia and its interests. They obtain this intelligence from foreign sources, outside Australia's borders. To do this, they rely on what they call "human intelligence" - information that comes directly from people.

Your role

The Intelligence Officer's role, in essence, is to collect, manage and plan intelligence gathering from sources outside of Australia's borders. In many cases, the intelligence they're collecting involves an active threat to Australia's security or economic interests. To do this, they use superior intellect, interpersonal skills and judgement to lead successful intelligence operations. Although they share these common traits, there is no stereotypical Intelligence Officer. So if you're highly motivated, curious about people and like to travel, this may be the role for you.

Training & development

As an ASIS officer, you'll have access to a wide range of in-house and external learning and development opportunities including:  

  • Training courses and conferences run by industry, government and international partners
  • Internal leadership training for managers involving development projects, industry study tours and mentoring from the senior leadership team
  • Read more.

Salary & benefits

As per the employer, the role of an Intelligence Officer may earn an average of A$89,990 to A$124,099. 

As an ASIS officer, you’ll have access to competitive remuneration packages that include allowances to compensate for the obligations of maintaining a security clearance and working in a secure environment.

Culture & vibe

In 2017, ASIS launched its Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. This strategy outlines ASIS's overarching commitment to a rich cultural agenda as an organization, creating the best possible working environment for current and future staff. Diversity in ASIS acknowledges and values the differences that individuals bring to the organization, from (but not limited to) gender, age, language, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, religious belief, sexual orientation, education, work and life experience, socio-economic background, family status or situation. It harnesses the different perspectives and experiences they bring to increase diversity in thinking and decision-making. Read more.
