Australia's countering violent extremism framework aims to prevent people from radicalising to violent extremism, whether religiously or ideologically motivated, by delivering nationally consistent approaches to managing at-risk individuals, including those in the justice system.

Just this month, the Morrison-Joyce government announced an additional $61.7 million over four years to further strengthen the countering violent extremism efforts. This funding includes $24.5 million to expand the CVE deradicalisation activities; $4.7 million to build on and extend efforts to combat terrorist propaganda online by identifying extremist material for removal; and $10.7 million to a new CVE grants program that will increase awareness and build community resilience to violent extremism.
