Overview
The Defence Trade Controls Act introduced offences which commenced
operation on 2 April 2016 for the unauthorised supply, and in certain
instances publication, of defence technology, and for the brokering of
defence goods and technology without a permit. The Act also provided for
a review of its operation to begin as soon as possible after 2 April
2018.
The review will include an assessment of whether the Act is fit for
purpose, particularly whether it adequately safeguards national defence
capability and prevents trade and collaboration that could unwittingly
advance the military capabilities of potential adversaries. The Review
will also identify gaps in the Act’s controls, any unintended
consequences arising from the Act, such as unnecessary regulatory
burden, and other relevant matters.
