International Crime Cooperation Division
The International Crime Cooperation Division (ICCD) is responsible for international cooperation in criminal matters and related policy issues.
ICCD is the Australian Central Authority for mutual assistance, extradition and the international transfer of prisoners. It undertakes casework and policy development in those areas, and administers legislation relating to international crime cooperation. The Division is also responsible for criminal justice certificates.
ICCD negotiates and implements treaties on mutual assistance, extradition and the international transfer of prisoners, and is responsible for Australia’s implementation of a range of multilateral treaties that deal with transnational crime and corruption issues.
ICCD also provides technical assistance and capacity building to regional countries on transnational crime, law enforcement and international crime cooperation issues.
The Division consists of three branches:
- Mutual Assistance and Extradition Branch
- International Crime - Policy and Engagement Branch
- International Legal Assistance Branch.
