The raids follow the biggest ever counter-terror operation in Australia earlier this month involving joint operations between the AFP and NSW police.
A spokeswoman for AFP said the raids were not related to the incident involving a terror suspect shot dead in Melbourne last week.
“This operational activity is not in response to a threat to public safety nor is it related to last week’s incident at Endeavour Hills,” a statement read.
