Radical Islamic groups

A number of Australians, from these organisations, have been identified as radicalising youth which in some instances has in resulted in people joining ISIS. [26]

Islamic militant groups

A number of small Islamic militant groups have existed in Australia since the 2000s, these groups were believed to have either plotted or carried out acts of terror in Australia.

Outlawed terrorist organisations

As at January 2015, there were 20 organisations designated and banned, by a court or a government department, for active involvement in terrorism. Identification of terrorist organisations may result from a prosecution for a terrorist offence, or from a listing determined by the Attorney-General of Australia.
