Responsibilities and Required Actions

Staff, Researchers, Students and Other Relevant Personnel

(6) All staff, researchers, students and other relevant personnel are to:

1. self assess their activities against the Department of Defence Online DSGL Tool Activity Assessment Questionnaire to ascertain:
   1. whether the activity is controlled by the Relevant Legislation;
   2. whether any exemptions will apply under the Relevant Legislation; and
   3. the likelihood that the technology will leave the institution or be exported; and
2. use the Online DSGL Tool search tool Defence Export Controls has provided to determine if a particular good, software or technology is listed on the Defence Strategic Goods List.

(7) If the activity is controlled and relates to a Defence Strategic Goods List item, refer the activity to the University’s Export Controls Committee which will assess whether a Defence Export Controls permit or licence is required for the activity.

(8) If you have been unable to determine if the activity is controlled and you believe the goods, software or technology are listed in the Defence Strategic Goods List, please contact Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research Services).

(9) The Export Controls Procedure Flowchart, which has been developed in accordance with the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, 2018, sets out the process that staff, students and other relevant personnel must follow to determine whether their proposed activity is controlled and therefore requires a permit to proceed.
