'An efficient intelligence organisation anticipates the requirements of a commander, and to be efficient, we must understand the problems we will meet. There will be no time to consider these after the outbreak of war. They must be resolved now, and that is the goal of the peace-time activities of the Corps.'

Colonel T.F.B. MacAdie, Director of Military Intelligence, 1957


This website is a resource for the public, the members and friends of the Australian Intelligence Corps Association and members of the "Corps". Whilst visiting we hope you gain a sense of the Association's pride in the Corps, its achievements and contributions to Australia, during peace and conflict.

Included in this website is information about the Museum of Australian Military Intelligence, the web presence of which the Association is extremely proud to provide. The Museum pages provide details on it's location and opening times, as well as examples of the collection.

Objectives

The Australian Intelligence Corps Association is a non-profit organisation of past and present, full and part time, Australian Intelligence Corps officers and soldiers. The object of the Association is to foster camaraderie, esprit de corps and sense of belonging within the Australian Intelligence Corps, by providing an entity for serving and former members to take pride in the Corps and its member’s achievements, and reach a greater understanding, of their heritage, history, traditions and customs. The Association’s objective is achieved by:

• Recognising and promoting professionalism in the performance of Army intelligence duties, through annual awards to individuals for exemplary performance


• Serving as a conduit through which serving and ex Corps members can foster new contacts, maintain old ones and when needed and appropriate, provide support to each other.



• Providing and promoting forum and activities for former and serving members of the Corps to interact socially and to meet and exchange ideas and experiences.



• Providing support to the Australian Intelligence Corps and the Museum of Australian Military Intelligence.



• Promoting a greater awareness of the Australian Intelligence Corps contributions to Australia and the Australian Intelligence Community, within the intelligence community and the nation as a whole.



• Acquiring documents, artefacts, uniforms, accoutrements and memorabilia related to the Australian Intelligence Corps for presentation to the Museum of Australian Military Intelligence.
