In 2008, the National Security Committee of Cabinet established the ACMC to assist Australian Government Agencies to respond more effectively to conflicts and disasters overseas.
The ACMC produces a number of videos and publications that are available online to view or as downloadable resources. Many of our publications are also available in hard-copy and may be ordered via a secure online request form. We encourage you to share our resources widely.
