About
The Australian Army Military Police Museum showcases the history and roles of the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police (RACMP).
The RACMP was known up until 1974 as the Australian Provost Corps. The museum's role is to:
- safeguard the history of the corps
- stand as a source of information for trainees, corps members, their families and the general public.
The museum is co-located with the Museum of Military Engineering. Both can be covered in a one-day visit.
