The ACIC can be found on Instagram, LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook. We use these channels to inform, educate and increase awareness of our agency’s core work to provide mission critical intelligence on serious and organised crime threats impacting Australia.

We may sometimes follow or like people and pages to do with ACIC matters. This does not mean that we endorse the people or pages, and their content.

Similarly, we might sometimes link to other websites. This does not mean we endorse the website, service or person.

We do not release any private or confidential information through social media.

We manage our social media channels from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays (Canberra time), and respond to comments and messages where possible and appropriate.
