As an Intelligence Professional, you'll play a critical role in delivering accurate, relevant, and timely intelligence that supports informed decision-making.
ASIO is seeking applications for the Intelligence Development Program (IDP) for the January 2024 and June 2024 intakes. This 12-month development program for intelligence professionals provides participants with comprehensive training in intelligence assessment, analysis and advice.
