Media release

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade invites members of the public to comment on a review of Australia's existing listings of 61 individuals and entities designated under Australia's autonomous sanctions in response to Russia's ongoing threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

It is a criminal offence under the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 and the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 to directly or indirectly make an asset available to, or for the benefit of, a designated person or entity.

Designations of individuals and entities made under the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 expire after three years, unless extended by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

Details of the listings currently under review and how to make a submission may be found on the sanctions page of this website.

The full list of persons and entities designated for targeted financial sanctions under Australian law, including Australian autonomous sanctions in relation to Ukraine, are on the DFAT Consolidated List.
