Police will use social media to seek information from the community about a number of alleged offenders who may have left their state or territory and are now residing interstate.
A reward of up to $1000 is offered for information that leads to the arrest of a fugitive.
The campaign, called Operation Roam, promotes the exchange of information regarding wanted people between states.
Included in the list of 20 wanted people were five men from NSW:
Brady Hamilton, 47, is wanted over his alleged involvement in a homicide in western Sydney on Wednesday, August 4, 1999.
