To provide information for the security of [[Australia]], and to disrupt the efforts of other countries to carry out intelligence operations against Australia, Australia has a number of intelligence agencies. They are listed here by the responsible department:

*Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
**Australian Secret Intelligence Service (foreign intelligence, overseas counter-intelligence)
*Attorney-General's Department
**Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (domestic counter-intelligence, protection from espionage, sabotage, politically-motivated violence, attacks on the Australian defence system, terrorism and acts of foreign interference)
*Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
**Office of National Assessments (analysis and assessments on international political, strategic and economic developments to the Prime Minister and senior ministers in the National Security Committee of Cabinet, coordination of intelligence operations)
*[[Australian Defence Organisation|Department of Defence]]]
**Defence Intelligence Group (coordinates all Defence intelligence agencies)
***Defence Intelligence Organisation (DIO) (assessing intelligence for the Department of Defence)
***Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO) (Geospatial intelligence)
***Defence Signals Directorate (DSD) (signals intelligence and information security)

In addition to these agencies, the three [[Australian Defence Force|armed forces]] maintain their own intelligence units. These are tasked mainly with collating, assessing, and presenting to commanders intelligence information passed from other agencies, specialised defence intelligence assets (such as Collins class submarines, RF-111C aircraft, and patrols by troops)
