Border Security: Australia's Front Line (known as Nothing to Declare in the UK and Ireland) is an Australian factual television programme in the form of an observational documentary that airs on the Seven Network. The show follows the work of officers of the Department of Home Affairs, Australian Border Force, and biosecurity officers as they enforce Australian immigration, customs, quarantine and finance laws. All three of these government agencies cooperate with filming. Officers from the Australian Fisheries Management Authority and personnel from the Australian Defence Force have also appeared on the show.
Most of the programme is filmed at Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane airports; scenes from the Sydney international mail arrival facility are also shown. Occasionally, the programme features other locations such as Perth Airport and Adelaide Airport, seaports, international mail centres, raids on workplaces suspected of employing persons contrary to the restrictions of their visa or immigrant status and the work of Australian Border Force vessels and aircraft in the waters of Northern Australia.
The series has so far produced 16 series as of 2022.
In July 2024, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (Australia) announced filming of series 17 had been completed with episodes airing in the next 12 months.{{Cite web |date=2024-10-03 |title=Border Security season 17 filming is back! |url=https://www.agriculture.gov.au/about/news/border-security-season-17 |access-date=2024-10-03 |website=Australian Government - Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forrestry |archive-date=7 October 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241007091203/https://www.agriculture.gov.au/about/news/border-security-season-17 |url-status=live }}

Criticism
Writer Bob Burton in his book Inside Spin: The Dark Underbelly of the PR Industry expressed concern that the television show, by being subject to post-production editing, allows the producers to remove anything that shows any mistakes made by the government agencies concerned. Instead, Burton argues, the show gives the viewing public the sense that the government is effectively and fairly administering border security policy.{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/need-to-curb-a-pr-industry-spinning-out-of-control/2007/08/06/1186252624551.html|title=Need to curb a PR industry spinning out of control – Opinion – smh.com.au|website=The Sydney Morning Herald|date=7 August 2007|access-date=1 October 2007|archive-date=22 September 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070922190517/http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/need-to-curb-a-pr-industry-spinning-out-of-control/2007/08/06/1186252624551.html|url-status=live}}
In 2009 Media Watch suggested that the Department of Immigration and Citizenship used its working relationship with Seven as leverage for an apology to its National Communications Manager, Sandi Logan, who had appeared in an unflattering light on a Today Tonight report. Media Watch's sources claimed that persons in the Department threatened to cease co-operation with Seven in the production of future Border Security episodes.{{cite web|url=http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2009/09/media-watch-immigration-dept-threat-to-border-security.html|title=Media Watch: Immigration Dept threat to Border Security|date=14 September 2009}}
