Border Security: Australia's Front Line is an Australian television program that airs on the Seven Network. The show follows the work of officers of the Australian Customs Service, the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service, and the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs as they reinforce Australia's border integrity against illegal immigration, smuggling, agricultural hazards, among other threats.

The show is broadcast in Australia, New Zealand, as well as the UK and Ireland on LIVINGtv2, where it airs as Nothing to Declare.

The show premiered in 2004 with host Grant Bowler and was a surprise ratings hit. It continued with two more series in 2005 and 2006. The third series was screened on Australian television on Tuesdays up until 17 September, where it was replaced on the 26th with Dancing with the Stars. In November 2006, old stories from the show were combined into a series of repeat shows on Wednesday nights from 7.30pm, and provided a strong lead into Police Files - Unlocked, which followed Border Security.

Border Security will return in 2007 with a brand new series.^[1]
