Outreach Program

Defence Export Controls (DEC) proactively engages with exporters to assist with navigating Australia’s export controls system, build understanding and foster compliance.

This is achieved by making information readily available on the DEC website, conducting outreach activities, and through forums.

Further information on the changes being introduced, including the new permit controls, AUKUS licence-free environment, and the implementation of the changes can be found on Defence Trade Controls Amendment Act 2024 and Defence Trade Legislation Amendment Regulations 2024 page.

Calendar of events

DEC hosts information sessions across Australia for industry and the higher education and research sectors. The sessions will provide an introduction and practical understanding of the key changes that are occurring to Australia's Defence Export Controls framework resulting from the new Defence Trade Controls Amendment Act 2024.

Virtual sessions are available for some events to cater for those who cannot attend in person. For a more comprehensive experience, including a questions and answers component, it is recommended to register for our face-to-face information sessions below.
