New Australia Export Control Industry Group Formed

Export Controls Australia Group, a new nonprofit for export controls professionals, aims to connect industry, government and others to “collaboratively navigate the complex landscape of export controls,” the group said on its website. Chief Operations Officer Amy McDonnell said the group is the “first Australian national industrial advocacy body focused exclusively on export controls and sanctions for Australian” defense, dual use and research organizations. It will “fill what we saw as a gap in the market for export control advocacy and professionalisation,” she said in a post last week on LinkedIn.
