Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape will travel to Canberra on Thursday to sign the security agreement, his office said.
"The security arrangement is in the best interest of Papua New Guinea and also for Australia and its regional security interests," Marape said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Australian Federal Police and the defence minister's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the security agreement.
"Its a big issue and Australia can help us out considerably," said Tkatchenko, who began negotiations with Australia on the deal last year.
They will be contracted officers reporting directly to the police commissioner of Papua New Guinea and they will be under all the laws of PNG.
