Defence Export Controls (DEC) is the Commonwealth regulator for the responsible movement of military and strategic (dual-use) goods, software, technology and related services both within and outside Australia.

A permit from DEC is only required when an export, supply, brokering or publishing activity is controlled and the goods, software or technology are listed in the DSGL. DEC may issue one of a number of different types of permit, according to need and an assessment of the circumstances.

Defence Export Controls (DEC) aims to maximise compliance by working with individuals, organisations and companies to help them meet their obligations under Australian law. Compliance with Australia’s export control system helps ensure these transfers are in line with Australia’s national interests and international obligations.
