The Australian Crime Prevention Council was formed in 1960. Initially known as the Australian Prison Aftercare Council, it was a voluntary association of individuals, departments and organisations, including branches of the criminal justice system, courts, police, corrections, prisons, medical health services, criminology, ethnic minority groups and armed services. In 1967 the council widened its chapter and changed its name to the Australian Crime Prevention Council, Corrections and Aftercare Council. In the 1970s funding was received from the federal and state governments as well as from private subscriptions and donations. A national secretariat was established in Queensland and efforts were made to coordinate the activities of the council at the national level as well as in the states and territories where the branches were formed. The Council then shortened its name to the Australian Crime Prevention Council. The secretariat was disbanded in the 1980s. In the early 2000s the Council was reformed and a new national Executive, representing the states and territories, was established.
