The Australian Border Force (ABF) is a government agency responsible for managing the borders of Australia. It ensures the security and integrity of the nation's borders by preventing illegal activities such as smuggling and unauthorized entry. The ABF also facilitates legitimate trade and travel, ensuring that goods and people move efficiently across the border. In addition to border protection, the ABF plays a key role in immigration enforcement and compliance. It works closely with other agencies to uphold Australian laws and policies, including customs regulations and immigration standards. The agency aims to balance security with the need for economic growth and community safety.
