Non-proliferation, disarmament and arms control

Australia’s Arms Control, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Priorities

Australia has an enduring commitment to a world without weapons of mass destruction. Australia does not and will not seek nuclear weapons.

Maintaining Australian leadership in global arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament efforts is a fundamental pillar of the Government's response to international security challenges, especially in the Indo-Pacific.

We are working with our partners to promote practical disarmament action, strengthen the global non-proliferation architecture, and enhance arms control outcomes. We will continue to engage constructively with States, international organisations, and civil society to achieve these goals.
