National Missing Persons Week 2024: Always Searching

This year’s National Missing Persons Week campaign will focus on 8 missing Australian women. 

The AFP is shining the light on long-term missing women this National Missing Persons Week (NMPW), calling on the Australian public to come forward with new information that could help bring them home. This year from 28 July – 3 August, the campaign Always Searching will focus on the continuing efforts of police to solve missing persons investigations.  

Throughout the week, 8 missing women will be featured, providing an opportunity to raise awareness and encourage the community to come forward with any information they may have. Each case will highlight a different long-term missing person who has been selected in consultation with state and territory police.  

The recurring message of this year’s campaign is that no matter how tiny the detail, police are committed to following leads and information to help find families’ loved ones.
