In keeping with Australia’s national interests and international obligations, Defence facilitates the responsible export of military and dual-use goods and technologies from Australia.
Defence Export Controls’ quarterly permit statistics provide the number and types of export applications received and finalised, application processing timeframes, the estimated total value of permits issued, and the breakdown of permits issued to end-users by continent. The report for Q1 (1 July - 30 September) 2024-25 includes data on approved permits by destination country or territory.
The statistics do not equate to actual exports as there is no obligation to conduct or report on an activity under permit.
