Safeguarding Victorians against terrorism
We can work together to build a safe and resilient Victoria to resist, respond and recover from acts of terrorism. We acknowledge the threats of violent extremism and radicalisation facing our community, our state and our country. These threats confront and challenge us – but they will not change the way we live. By working together, we can create a safe and resilient Victoria to resist, respond and recover from acts of terrorism.
What Government is doing to protect the Victorian community
Victoria has robust and well-practised emergency management arrangements.
