Australia adds Russia-related persons, entities and vessels under autonomous sanctions
Date of publication: February 25, 2026
The Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs has, by legislative instruments under the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011, listed additional Russia-related persons, entities and vessels for targeted financial sanctions, travel bans and vessel sanctions, thereby expanding Australia's autonomous sanctions framework in response to Russia.
The new measures designated
- 4 persons for targeted financial sanctions and, where applicable, travel bans
- 115 entities for targeted financial sanctions
- 61 vessels as sanctioned vessels in relation to Russia
Since the introduction of the Russia criteria and vessels criteria under the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011, Australia has progressively expanded its consolidated sanctions list, with these latest listings adding 4 persons, 115 entities and 61 vessels to DFAT's Consolidated List.
Conclusion
These measures further tighten Australia's autonomous sanctions pressure on Russia by broadening the scope of listed persons, entities and vessels subject to financial and travel restrictions.
Companies should promptly screen their business partners, transactions and maritime activities against the updated DFAT Consolidated List and ensure controls are in place to prevent dealings with listed persons, entities and sanctioned vessels without appropriate authorization.
