Sanctions designation — transaction must be blocked or frozen
About This List
Australia DFAT Consolidated Sanctions List names 3,816 individuals and entities designated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade under autonomous and UN-mandated regimes, triggering asset freezes essential for cross-border payment screening by Australian reporting entities.
Detailed Information
Australian DFAT Consolidated List is maintained by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and is Australia's single register of persons, entities and vessels designated under the autonomous and UN-mandated sanctions regimes. DFAT publishes four independent measures per designation — targeted financial sanction (asset freeze), travel ban, arms embargo and maritime restriction — and not every designation carries all four: around 7.6% (chiefly designated vessels under a maritime restriction, and individuals under travel-ban-only UN regimes such as UNSCR 2048) are not subject to an asset freeze. Each match carries the measures actually imposed in its sanctions_types field; read those before freezing funds.
Compliance Implications
This is a high-priority sanctions list. Entities on this list are typically subject to full blocking/freezing measures. Persons and entities under applicable jurisdiction are generally prohibited from dealing with listed parties. Assets may be frozen and all transactions are typically blocked.
