The Australian Government can confirm 13 members of the Australian cohort in Syria have made plans to travel to Australia.
The Government has not and will not provide any assistance to this group, which consists of four women and nine children.
These are people who have made the horrific choice to join a dangerous terrorist organisation and to place their children in an unspeakable situation.
As we have said many times - any members of this cohort who have committed crimes can expect to face the full force of the law.
Our world-class law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been preparing for their return since 2014 and have long-standing plans in place to manage and monitor them.
The priority of the Government, as always, is the safety of the Australian community.
