This programme is a fly‑on‑the‑wall documentary that places viewers inside the daily world of customs and immigration officers working at Australia’s biggest airports. By adopting an observational style, the series lets the camera linger on the staff as they go about their duties, giving the audience a direct, unmediated look at their professional lives. The content follows the officers through a typical shift, recording their interactions with passengers, the decisions they have to make, and the routine procedures that keep the country’s borders running smoothly. The focus remains on the real‑time experience of the staff, showing how they manage the flow of travellers, enforce regulations and respond to the occasional unexpected situation that arises in a busy airport environment. Presented as a series of episodes, the show is structured like a conventional programme, each instalment offering a snapshot of life on the front line of border control. It highlights the scale and complexity of operations at the nation’s largest air hubs, providing a clear picture of what it means to work in customs and immigration without adding any fictionalised elements or external commentary.
