A permit must be obtained to export, supply, publish or broker goods or technology on the Defence and Strategic Goods List, unless an exemption applies (see Permit exemptions below). UQ International Safeguards is responsible for preparing and submitting all permit applications to Defence Export Controls, part of the Australian Department of Defence.  

There are several kinds of permits available for different circumstances, including permits to export and/or supply military or dual-use goods or technology (including for transhipment through Australia and for repair, return or maintenance purposes) and permits to supply to a non-exempt foreign person within Australia. Multi-party permits for groups working on a project and permits tailored to match contracts are also possible. 

For more information on the kinds of permits available, see the permits page of the Defence Export Controls website.
