Australian Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews has launched a centre to bolster the country's cybercrime fighting efforts.

The AU$89 million cybercrime centre forms part of Home Affairs' national plan to combat cybercrime, which was announced alongside the centre's launch on Monday morning.

The AU$89 million was provided through the AU$1.67 billion in funding for Australia's cybersecurity strategy by the federal government. Andrews said the national plan and the Australian Federal Police's (AFP) new cybercrime centre, called Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre (JPC3), would bring together the experience, powers, capabilities, and intelligence needed to build a strong, multi-faceted response.
