Australian Hi-Tech Crime Centre is a law enforcement agency that provides a national coordinated approach to combating serious, complex and multi-jurisdictional high tech crimes, especially those beyond the capability of single policing jurisdictions in Australia. Other roles include protecting the information infrastructure of Australia, and providing information to other law enforcement to help combat online crime. They are hosted by the Australian Federal Police at their headquarters in Canberra. Under the auspices of the AFP, the AHTCC is party to the formal Joint Operating Arrangement established between the AFP, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and the Computer Network Vulnerability Team of the Defence Signals Directorate.
