Defending Australia and its National Interests

Non-Proliferation

Australia is a strong supporter of international efforts to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and is an active member of major international arms control treaties and multilateral export control regimes. These arrangements help reduce the threat environment for both Australia and the international community. Australia's national export control system is the mechanism for ensuring that Australia upholds its international non-proliferation obligations by regulating the export of controlled goods.
