The Federal Government is pushing for suspected terrorists to be detained for a fortnight without charge.
Currently police in NSW have the power to detain a person for questioning for up to 14 days, while most states only allow for a maximum of seven.
At a special national security meeting in Canberra, the Prime Minister will urge state and territory leaders to adopt the model in New South Wales, where suspects can be held a week longer.
Malcolm Turnbull is confident the proposed laws won't breach the constitution.
The federal government also wants to beef up its national database to include photos from driver's licences and other IDs for its facial recognition system.
Mr Turnbull will on Thursday ask state and territory leaders to agree to hand over the photos at a special national security meeting in Canberra.
The prime minister said adding such data to the passport and immigration information already accessed by police will help keep Australians safe.
