What is the Consolidated List?

The Australian Sanctions Office (ASO) maintains and regularly updates the Consolidated List, which includes all individuals, entities and vessels subject to Australian sanctions, including targeted financial sanctions, travel bans, arms embargos and maritime sanctions.

The Consolidated List features names (including aliases), dates of birth, places of birth, citizenships and addresses of those sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) or by the Foreign Minister under Australia's autonomous sanctions laws. It is a key resource for due diligence checks to determine if any individuals, entities or vessels involved in your activities are sanctioned under Australian laws.

Why should I check the Consolidated List?

Checking the Consolidated List before dealing with an individual, entity or vessel is a precaution you can take to help prevent you from contravening Australian sanctions laws. 

For targeted financial sanctions, his will enable you to take immediate action such as freezing assets and notifying authorities. Dealing with an individual or entity that appears on the Consolidated List is a serious criminal offence with penalties including up to 10 years in prison for individuals and significant fines for individuals and bodies corporate.

Targeted financial sanctions apply to listed individuals and entities, prohibiting them from:

• directly or indirectly making an asset available to, or for the benefit of, a listed person or entity
• using or dealing with assets owned or controlled by a listed individual or entity, commonly referred to as an 'asset freeze'.

An 'asset' encompasses any type of property, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, however acquired.

Additionally, sanctioned vessels can be directed to leave or not enter Australian waters. Learn more about the measures relating to sanctioned vessels by visiting the Sanctioned vessels framework.

What should I do if I find a match on the Consolidated List?

If you identify a match on the Consolidated List, seek legal advice before proceeding with any dealings involving that person, entity, or vessel, or any assets owned or controlled by them.

What if I suspect that I hold an asset owned or controlled by an individual or entity on the Consolidated List?

If you are, or think you may be, using or dealing with an asset that is owned or controlled by a designated person or entity (that is, you are holding a freezable or controlled asset), you must hold (or 'freeze') the asset and inform the ASO by emailing asset.freezing@dfat.gov.au and notify the Australian Federal Police (AFP) through the Report a crime form as soon as possible.

Asset holders are required by law to provide the AFP with specific information about freezable or controlled assets (regulation 42 of the Charter of the United Nations (Dealing with Assets) Regulations 2008 (Cth) and regulation 24 of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (Cth)).

Does the Consolidated List include individuals or entities listed under other countries' laws?

The Consolidated List only lists individuals and entities listed under Australian sanctions laws. This includes persons and entities as listed by the United Nations Security Council.  The Consolidated List does not include individuals or entities listed or prescribed under other Australian laws, or sanctions laws of other countries. If you think your activities might be affected by other Australian laws, or the laws of another country, you should seek legal advice.

The ASO does not provide legal advice.

Can I obtain a permit for an activity related to an individual or entity on the Consolidated List?

Individuals and entities can apply for a sanctions permit for activities related to individuals or entities on the Consolidated List. Information on applying for a permit, please visit our Apply for a sanctions permit page.

The Consolidated List provides details of the applicable sanctions framework for a listed individual or entity.  When considering an application for a sanctions permit related to an individual, entity, or vessel on the Consolidated List, it is important to review the relevant sanctions framework. The framework would outline the specific criteria that must be met in order to obtain a permit.

What if I am a listed individual or entity and want to be removed from the list?

If you are listed and wish to be removed from the Consolidated List, refer to the Delistings and travel ban exemptions webpage for further information.

What if my asset has been wrongly frozen?

If you believe your asset has been frozen in error or you have any other questions about frozen assets, please Contact Us.

Sanctioned Vessels

What is the effect on sanctioned vessels?

Sanctioned vessels have been designated for sanctions measures under subregulation 8(1)(a) of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (the Regulations). If a vessel is listed in the Consolidated List, the Minister for Foreign Affairs may, under Subregulation 8(4) of the Regulations, direct that vessel to leave Australia, including by a particular route; or not enter a particular port or place, or any port or place, in Australia. Additionally, if a vessel does not comply with the Minister's direction, the vessel is forfeited to the Commonwealth.

Please note that in addition to the vessels which appear on this list, all vessels which fall within the DPRK vessel class are also designated as sanctioned vessels. This includes all vessels entitled to fly the flag of or registered in the DPRK, as well as other vessels connected to the DPRK. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) sanctions framework webpage includes details on DPRK vessel restrictions.

What if I own or control a listed vessel and want the vessel to be removed from the list?

The owner of, or a person who controls, a designated vessel may apply to the Foreign Minister to revoke the designation of a sanctioned vessel.

Revocation applications may be sent to the ASO at sanctions@dfat.gov.au.
