The time of the meeting is unclear so far after Ms Buttrose last week complained to federal Communications Minister Paul Fletcher of the "sweeping nature" of the AFP warrant "clearly designed to intimidate".

The raid came off the back of stories published by the ABC in 2017 alleging Australian soldiers may have carried out unlawful killings in Afghanistan and based on leaked Defence papers.

This, along with another raid on the Canberra home of a News Corp Australia reporter, has sparked a political debate in Australia over the freedom of the press and protections for journalists.

Asked if the ABC planned legal action Ms Buttrose said the broadcaster had consulted lawyers about its options but hadn't "briefed anybody yet".

"At this point, we're really assessing the allegations to see what actions can be taken and we want to make sure that we're in the strongest available position to defend ourselves and also our journalists," she said on Monday.

During a search, AFP officers took possession of about 100 documents, on national security grounds. The contents were transferred to USB sticks and placed in sealed bags.

The ABC has two weeks to appeal the warrant and seek the return of the documents. But if an appeal is unsuccessful or does not go ahead the AFP would be allowed to examine the documents.

President of the Victorian Bar Council, Matthew Collins QC, confirmed to AAP he had been retained by the ABC but could not comment further.

Ms Buttrose said she would meet with Mr Morrison this week.

"I'm not going to tell the prime minister what to do but I will tell him how we feel at the ABC and how I feel," she said.

Ms Buttrose warned last week that two separate raids related to two media outfits on consecutive days was a "blunt signal of adverse consequences for news organisations who make life uncomfortable for policymakers and regulators by shining lights in dark corners and holding the powerful to account".

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann on Monday opened the door to an inquiry into press freedom in Australia.

"There are obviously a range of issues to be considered here and we'll make statements in relation to this later in the week," he said in Perth.

A protest rally in support of the ABC will be held on Tuesday outside Mr Fletcher's electorate office in Lindfield, in his seat of Bradfield, on the upper North Shore.

Chris Haviland, who was Labor's candidate for Bradfield at the May 18 federal election, said the raids amounted to bullying.

"This is about freedom of the press, and our very democracy," he said in a statement on Monday.
