About the BLU

The Commonwealth Government is committed to working closely with Australian business to ensure that the necessary communication and coordination arrangements are in place to protect against, or respond to potential or actual terrorist attacks. 

The ASIO Business Liaison Unit (BLU) was established in late 2005 as a direct interface between business and ASIO to enhance the flow of national security information to the private sector.

The BLU aims to ensure that owners and operators of critical infrastructure and other relevant members of the Australian business community can access timely ASIO information on matters affecting the security of the assets and staff for which they are responsible. Businesses can use this information to inform their risk management processes.

In addition to facilitating the direct dissemination of ASIO information to Australian businesses, the BLU provides businesses with a point of contact for the Australian intelligence community and notification of upcoming security presentations and events.

Further information about ASIO can be accessed via the ASIO website.
