The AFP is also guided by a Ministerial Direction, issued under section 37(2) of the
AFP Act.
Under section 8 of the AFP Act, the AFP’s functions include:
•
the provision of police services in relation to laws of the Commonwealth, the
property of the Commonwealth (including Commonwealth places), and the
safeguarding of Commonwealth interests
•
the provision of policing in the Australian Capital Territory, the Jervis Bay Territory
and Australia’s external territories (e.g. Christmas Island)

Section 2: Outcomes and planned performance
2.1
OUTCOMES AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Government outcomes are the intended results, impacts or consequences of actions by
the government on the Australian community. Commonwealth programmes are the
primary vehicle by which government entities achieve the intended results of their
outcome statements. Entities are required to identify the programmes that contribute
to government outcomes over the budget and forward years.
The AFP’s outcomes are described below together with the related programmes,
specifying the performance indicators and targets used to assess and monitor the
performance of the AFP in achieving government outcomes.
Outcome 1: Reduced criminal and security threats to Australia’s collective
economic and societal interests through co-operative policing services
Outcome 1 strategy
The AFP has two programmes under Outcome 1, emphasising federal operational
policing and police development roles. Both programmes acknowledge key features of
the current environment: (i) threats to Australians and Australia’s interests have an
international base; (ii) organised serious crime represents, in itself, a security threat to
Australian interests; and (iii) weak rule of law undermines development and provides
opportunities for terrorist and other criminal enterprises to flourish. These programmes
integrate prevention and disruption priorities towards crime reduction and impede
criminal elements that threaten the security of Australians and Australian interests.
Programme 1.1, Federal Policing and National Security, addresses criminal and security
threats through a range of activities, including national and transnational investigations,
counter-terrorism, aviation operations, protective services, and joint taskforces with
international, Commonwealth, state, territory and private-sector partners.
Programme 1.2, International Police Assistance, contributes to national security by
providing policing support for enhanced rule of law internationally. This is facilitated
through the AFP’s official development assistance in the Indo-Pacific region and the
AFP’s contribution to United Nations missions.
The AFP prioritises deployment of its resources around criminal and security risks,
and continuous development and enhancement of its investigations and specialist
support capabilities. The AFP’s capabilities include communication, coordination,
cybersafety, forensics, intelligence, legal, legislation, litigation, security and other
technical and physical operations support services, which ensure the AFP remains well
positioned to address advancements in criminal use of emerging technologies. The
critical focus of the AFP’s Outcome 1 strategy is the development and application of
resources and skills to tasks with the greatest impact and disruptive effect on criminal
networks and security threats.

Contributions to Outcome 1
Programme 1.1: Federal Policing and National Security
Programme 1.1 objective
This programme will reduce criminal and security threats to Australia’s collective
economic and societal interests through promoting the safety and security of
Australian communities and infrastructure; preventing, deterring, disrupting and
investigating serious and organised crime and crimes of Commonwealth
significance; and ensuring effective collaboration with international,
Commonwealth, state and territory partners.
Programme 1.1 expenses
Programme 1.1 is expected to incur expenses of $981.166m in 2015–16, a decrease of
$39.605m from the estimated actual expenses for 2014–15. This is largely driven by
the conclusion of the protective security arrangements for the Cricket World Cup
and Asian Football Cup ($16.867m), the reduction of funding for Operation
Sovereign Borders ($8.265m), the impact of government savings measures
($13.377m) and a reduction in available funding from the efficiency dividend
($10.263m). This is offset by the full year of operation of additional counter-terrorism
funding and enhanced protective security arrangements ($7.692m).

Australian Federal Police
Programme 1.1 key performance indicators
Successful cooperation across law enforcement and the national security sectors is
measured by the level of satisfaction expressed by the AFP’s key partners and
stakeholders in the annual business satisfaction survey.
Perceived reduction in national security threats is measured by the level of
confidence in the AFP expressed by the travelling public in the annual aviation
survey. This is also supported by achieving response time targets within airport
precincts.
Reducing national security and criminal threats is consistent with disrupting
criminal enterprises through achieving high conviction rates, disruption or other
successful case outcomes such as restraint of criminal assets.
Efficiency and effectiveness of investigations is shown through positive return on
investment. The return on investment indicator is based on the Drug Harm Index
and Estimated Financial Return, which summarise, in dollar terms, the social impact
of law enforcement efforts against importation of illicit drugs and economic crime,
respectively. The Drug Harm Index is the estimate of the potential harm that would
have ensued if drugs seized at the border had reached the community. The
Estimated Financial Return is the amount of money estimated to be saved by law
enforcement efforts into crimes such as fraud and money laundering, based on
estimates of past losses recovered, and specific and general deterrence.
Reduced vulnerability to cyber threats is gauged through measuring the
effectiveness of cyber safety presentations.

Programme 1.2: International Police Assistance
Programme 1.2 objective
This programme will reduce criminal and national security threats to Australia’s
collective economic and societal interests through delivery of collaborative law and
order police development missions, participation in internationally mandated peace
operations and provision of civil policing assistance in accordance with Australian
foreign development policy priorities.
Programme 1.2 expenses
Programme 1.2 is budgeted to incur expenses of $254.202m in 2015–16, a decrease of
$13.456m from the estimated actual expenses for 2014–15. The reduction in
expenditure is consistent with the reduction in funding associated with overseas
deployments.

Outcome 2: A safe and secure environment through policing activities on
behalf of the Australian Capital Territory Government
Outcome 2 strategy
Outcome 2 reflects the AFP’s community policing capacity delivered to the Australian
Capital Territory through ACT Policing. ACT Policing delivers a policing service in
accordance with a Policing Arrangement between the Commonwealth and ACT
governments. The Policing Arrangement is for a period of five years and was last
approved on 24 June 2011.
The Policing Arrangement provides for an annually negotiated Purchase Agreement
between the AFP and the ACT Government, which defines annual community policing
objectives. The 2014–15 Purchase Agreement was signed in June 2014. The 2015–16
Purchase Agreement is in negotiation and is anticipated to be signed by June 2015.
ACT Policing services are provided under section 8 of the AFP Act.
Outcome 2 expense statement
Table 2.1.2 provides an overview of the total expenses for Outcome 2, by programme.

Contributions to Outcome 2
Programme 2.1: ACT Community Policing
Programme 2.1 objective
The primary aim for Outcome 2 is the provision of a community policing capacity to
the ACT Government. AFP activities in this regard include three key outcomes of
reduced crime, public safety, and community and partner engagement.
Programme 2.1 expenses
The movement in total expenses for programme 2.1 across the forward estimates is
due to expected increases in the cost of providing policing services for the ACT
Government.

BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
3.2.1 Differences in entity resourcing and financial statements
There is no material difference between the entity resourcing and financial statements.
3.2.2 Analysis of budgeted financial statements
Departmental
In 2015–16 the AFP is budgeted to receive appropriation revenue of $1,013.143m, a
decrease of $1.884m from the estimate of $1,015.027m published in the 2014–15
Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements. The reduction in appropriation is primarily
a result of economic parameter updates ($0.999m) and a change in appropriation
classification between departmental, capital and administered for expenses in relation
to the continuation of the Disruption and Deterrence Task Group ($0.585m).
In 2015–16 the AFP is budgeting to receive $48.911m in equity funding, an increase of
$8.566m from the estimate of $40.345m published in the 2014–15 Portfolio Additional
Estimates Statements. The increase can be attributed to the reclassification of the
Melbourne office property works, the Data Centre Transition Project and the
Disruption and Deterrence Task Group from internally funded resources to equity
funding.
The overall change to the budgeted departmental balance sheet primarily reflects the
update of 2014–15 estimated actual values, which results in changed opening balances.
Administered
The estimated expenses administered on behalf of government for 2015–16 are
$17.145m, an increase of $0.553m from the estimate of $16.592m published in the
2014–15 Portfolio Additional Estimates Statements. This reflects the reclassification of
funding associated with the continuation of the Disruption and Deterrence Task Group
($0.569m) offset by economic parameter updates ($0.016m).
