Thirteen Australians have been arrested in several police raids on an international child pornography ring.

Australian Federal Police raided 19 properties in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT, arresting the 13 men, with one of those in possession of images and videos requiring 24 standard laptops to store.

Fairfax media reports Interpol alerted the AFP following the discovery of the child porn ring in Germany.

Police say some infants were depicted in the material, with some of the images and videos rated a four out of five on a level of severity.

The men have been charged with accessing and making available child exploitation material and most of them will be bailed under strict conditions.
