About our team
Regional Operations | West | Operations West | Maritime
The Australian Border Force (ABF) currently has nine District Offices based on the Western Australian coastline.
District Operations Officers use a wide and varying range of border enforcement skills to secure the border and enforce compliance with a range of legislation. They facilitate the movement of people and goods across the border, including boarding, searching and clearing vessels or aircraft as required.

Officers working in this domain enhance and implement national border protection strategies by working cooperatively within the community and with partner agencies, working across a range of issues including customs, immigration, biosecurity, fisheries, police, industry, foreign affairs and trade, revenue collection, health and the environment. They engage with the local community, law enforcement partners and other government stakeholders and may participate in regional and national border enforcement operations.
