State Security Unit

In 2003 the Government created the State Security Unit (SSU) to:

  • Develop operational capabilities for prevention, response and recovery in relation to terrorist threats.

The SSU provides a focal point for whole-of-government activities and projects involving counter-terrorism. It also liaises with the private sector, the Commonwealth and other jurisdictions in relation to counter-terrorist arrangements and contributes to the development of national counter-terrorism policies.

 

The Command has specific involvement in areas including:

  • The Policy and Planning Section
  • The Critical Infrastructure Protection Section
  • The Exercise Management Section.
