Cyber security and counter terrorism are on the agenda when three Australian ministers head to Jakarta for talks with their Indonesian counterparts this week.

Attorney-General George Brandis, Justice Minister Michael Keenan and Dan Tehan, who has responsibility for cybersecurity, will meet with Indonesia's top security minister Wiranto and other ministers on Thursday.

The Australia-Indonesia ministerial council on law and security will focus on the risk posed by returning foreign fighters following the the collapse of the Islamic State caliphate in the Middle East.
