Does ASIO share information with foreign intelligence agencies?
In accordance with the ASIO Act, ASIO may cooperate with the agencies of other countries in order to carry out its functions. In this context, and with the approval of the Attorney-General, ASIO may communicate with the security and intelligence authorities of a range of countries. Developments in the regional and global security environment have implications for Australia’s national security, so these international relationships form an important part in ASIO’s counter-terrorism efforts.
