The Counter-Terrorism Legislation Amendment Bill 2026 will see changes to the control order and post-sentence order frameworks.
The amendments will allow courts to impose orders on certain individuals to protect the public from terrorism, improve information-sharing arrangements between governments, and provide access to criminal histories and warrants for electronic surveillance when a control order is being actively considered.
How groups are listed as terrorist organisations is also changing, with technical amendments to the Criminal Code promising to strengthen this process.
