The Australian Government has legislated strengthened export controls through the Defence Trade Controls Act 2012 (DTCA). The Department of Defence has put in place Australia’s system of controls (Defence Export Controls; DEC) that ensure the export of defence and strategic goods and technologies (including ICT) is consistent with Australia’s national interests and international obligations.
The Departments of Defence and Veterans' Affairs Human Research Ethics Committee (DDVA HREC) is the HREC for the Department of Defence (Defence) and the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) and the broader community.
