As of 1 October 2020, the Online Sanctions Administration System (OSAS) has been replaced by the new Australian sanctions platform, Pax. Pax will improve the process for making enquiries regarding Australian sanctions and applying for sanctions permits. User guides are available to ease this transition and all existing matters will remain in OSAS until finalised.

Before contacting DFAT in relation to a proposed activity:
