Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA)
The understandings between governments regarding visiting military forces are commonly addressed in a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). A SOFA is an internationally recognised means of handling the issues arising out of the presence of one country’s visiting forces in the territory of another country. Australia has a SOFA concerning United States Forces in Australia, a reciprocal SOFA with Papua New Guinea, a SOFA with Singapore to complement the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) Agreement with Singapore (which provides many SOFA-type provisions for Australian forces in Singapore), a reciprocal SOFA with Malaysia and a SOFA with New Zealand.

International Logistics Agreements
International Logistics Support Agreements establish general principles for the provision or receipt of logistics support between Australia and other countries. The agreements outline the scope of support available and the terms and conditions under which support can be provided or received. The Agreements are normally activated through the use of a subsidiary Implementing Arrangement, which documents detailed arrangements specific to an activity.

Australia has also entered into a number of International Logistics Support Arrangements (non-treaty status) with a number of nations, which perform a similar function.
