The Australian Federal Police's (AFP) Australian High Tech Crime Centre (AHTCC) is responsible for investigating both crimes committed through computer systems such as unauthorised intrusion or denial-of-service, as well as more traditional crimes in which computers play a significant role. The AHTCC can assist businesses who wish to report serious computer crime acts, and can be contacted via their website. If you want to report a cyber crime online, visit the Australian High Tech Crime Centre's web site: http://www.ahtcc.gov.au The site has valuable advice on what to do prior to reporting a crime as well as forms to be completed if you want to report a crime.

Alternatively you can report a computer security incident to the AusCERT National IT Incident Reporting Scheme. The Scheme provides a confidential and secure mechanism to report computer security attacks or incidents affecting Australian-based networks or systems to AusCERT. The purpose of the scheme is to collect and analyse reports about computer security incidents affecting Australian computer and information networks. AusCERT uses these reports to better inform the Australian public about computer network attack activity, threats and trends and protection strategies.
