[edit]

This is a timeline of Islamic State activities related to Australia. The events below include terrorist and extretmist activities of Islamic State supporters in Australia, Australians who travelled overseas to join the Islamic State (a journey that was referred to by the group as hijra), depictions of Australians in Islamic State propaganda, and Australian military and intelligence involvement in the War against the Islamic State.

Background

[edit]

The most deadly terrorist attack on Australian soil was the Islamic State-inspired 2025 Bondi Beach shooting (detailed timeline), committed by Naveed Akram (who was charged with 15 counts of murder) and his father Sajid Akram (who was killed by police during the attack), targeting Jewish Australians at a Hanukkah gathering at Bondi Beech. Before this, several Islamic State plots were successfully thwarted by Australian intelligence and law enforcement bodies.

Before 2014

[edit]

The war on terror led to the genesis of the Islamic State, originally an offshoot of al‑Qaeda in Iraq.[1]

2001

[edit]

2002

[edit]
  • 2002 – In response to Australian actions in the US-led war on terror, al Qaeda-backed militants carry out the bombings targeting Australian tourists in Bali, Indonesia, killing 88 Australians and 38 locals, and 202 people in total.[5][6] This remains the deadliest terror attack in Australian history, albeit in a neighbouring country.[7] It was a mass casualty event, overwhelming local hospitals and requiring many victims to be evacuated to hospitals in Australia, with assistance from Australia's defence force.[7][8]

2003

[edit]

2014 to 2019

[edit]

From 2014 until 2019 the group attempted to conquer and control territory in Syria and the Levant. They rejected the concept of nation states and aspired to become the only Islamic state.[11][12]

2014

[edit]
  • The Islamic State group form in Iraq and begin their conquest of Iraq and Syria. They declare a Caliphate, and announce this on Twitter and elsewhere online.[13] The Caliphate's physical territory is in Iraq and Syria, and they proclaimed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi the Caliph.[14] Their Caliphate is rejected almost immediately by mainstream Muslims, in the Letter to Baghdadi and a wide variety of other public statements.

2021

[edit]
  • January 2021 – Singaporean security services report the arrest of a youth who was planning a copycat attack on the anniversary of the 15 Match 2019 attack. The arrested youth had watched videos of the Australian terrorist's attack, read his antisemitic manifesto, and also watched ISIS propaganda. He "came to the erroneous conclusion that ISIS represented Islam, and that Islam called on its followers to kill non-believers".[38]
  • October 2021 – Isaac El Matari[a] (one of the IS supporters who was linked to Naveed), was sentenced to over 7 years in prison for planning terrorist attacks and attempting to establish an Islamic State insurgency in Australia.[39][40][41][42][43]

  • Sajid Akram's gun license is granted. He first applied in 2020, after his son Naveed Akram was investigated as a known associated of Islamic State supporters in Sydney.[15] Over the course of two years, Sajid Akram legally purchased 6 guns.[44]
  • 7 October 2023 – onset of the Gaza war.[45]
  • November 2023 – William Haddad (an extremist preacher with a long history of support for the Islamic State) made speeches that were latter determined to contain more than 25 instances of racial vilification against Jews, according to a law suit that he be lost in June 2025.[46]

2024

[edit]
  • 15 April 2024 – 2024 Wakeley church stabbing, a somewhat extremist Christian priest, from the minority Assyrian community, was stabbed by a mentally disturbed teenagers who referenced Islam in phrases he yelled during the attack. At the time it was characterised as not organised or politically motivated. Bishop Mari Emmanuel and some of his prisoners were stabbed at a church by a mentally unstable 16-year-old who objected to the Bishop's views on Islam.[47]
  • August 2024 – The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation raised Australia's national terrorism threat level from "possible" to "probable", citing the risk of community tensions and political violence related to the Gaza war as one of the reasons for doing so.[48][49]

August 2025

[edit]
  • 3 August 2025 - Two past supporters of Islamic State, connected to Naveed Akram in 2019,[32][53] were noticed trying to exploit public protests to further a conflicting agenda.[31][54] Both men were later reported as a past associate of Naveed Akram from 2019.[32][53] Youssef Uweinat (sometimes known by the kunya Abu Musa al-Maqdisi) was imprisoned from 2019 to 2023 for terrorism-related offences, after trying to recruit 17 and 18-year-olds to pledge loyalty to the Islamic State cult, a role that some media described as an Islamic State "youth recruiter". He has since claimed to no-longer support the cult.[32][53] Uweinat was photographed waving a black flag (used by ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other groups) at the edges of a protest on the Harbour bridge.[31][55] Both men were later reported as a past associate of Naveed Akram from 2019.[32] Extremist preacher William Haddad (also known as "Wissam Haddad" and "Abu Ousayd") posted the flag image on social media saying, "The only flag that counts!" A report from ABC News Australia described the preacher as having "no interest in a Palestinian state" and trying to "exploit and fracture the pro-Palestinian movement".[31]
