The Australian Civil-Military CentreThe ACMC mission is to ‘support the development of national civil-military capabilities to prevent, prepare for and respond more effectively to conflicts and disasters overseas’.


ACMC works to facilitate cross-agency, civil society and international engagement to produce qualitative improvements in Australia’s contributions to humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, peace and stabilisation activities overseas by:

developing capacity through education, training and exercises identifying and advocating best-practice in lessons learned,

research and publications, and strengthening national, regional and international engagement

through relationship building.

ACMC is not an operationally active organisation in international disasters and conflicts, but rather is a service provider to the rest of government. It exists to serve others and our success is measured by how well Australia mobilises its national effort to promote peace, security and stability overseas, in coordination with friends and neighbours. It establishes linkages across government, with international counterparts and with civil society organisations.
