The AFP Directions Program recognises the valuable contributions First Nations people make to policing for a safer Australia. It also helps ensure the AFP’s workforce is representative of the communities we serve.
The 12-month integrated employment and development program is located in Canberra and runs annually from February to February. It provides permanent, full-time employment in specialist and support positions in the AFP and gives participants professional development opportunities to have a challenging and rewarding career.
Participants who successfully complete the program will be promoted to an ongoing position with the AFP. Previous program participants have experienced a variety of different career paths, including transitioning to police officer or protective service officer roles.
