Introduction

Certain activities are regulated in the Antarctic and subantarctic

A range of legislation that implements Australia's obligations under various international agreements, regulates certain activities through permit systems, while prohibiting others altogether. Permits for most Antarctic activities can be applied for using the Antarctic Applications Online (AAO) System. Contact the us for directions on how to apply for your permits. The generic email is permits@aad.gov.au or alternatively telephone the Permits Officers on (03) 6232 3402 or (03) 6232 3347.
