ASIO director-general Mike Burgess says Australia's terror-level threat has been raised to "probable" due to a rising mix of ideologies where people think "violence is permissible".
Mr Burgess had joined Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus in making the announcement, where he said eight incidents had been disrupted in the past four months.
The raising of the threat level does not mean ASIO has intelligence about plans of an imminent attack.
Speaking to 7.30's Sarah Ferguson, Mr Burgess said not one of the eight incidents caused the raising of the threat level, but rather it was concerns about the number of motivations involved, and that those involved were not known to authorities.
"One incident or a couple of incidents are not a reason to raise the threat level, but they are an indication of what we're seeing in society across those eight incidents," Mr Burgess said.
"Five of them involved minors or youth. The oldest was 21. The youngest was 14.
"Across the eight there's an equal mix of religiously motivated, nationalist and racist violent extremism."
