On the morning of 15 September 2017, an improvised explosive device placed on a train at Parsons Green Station in London exploded, resulting in injuries to 30 people, including one Australian.
The Australian Government condemns the attack and extends its deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those injured, to the UK Government and people of London.
The declaration brings the total number of overseas terrorist acts declared by the Australian Government to 41.
The Australian Government's AVTOP scheme ensures Australian victims of terrorist acts overseas have access to financial support. It is an important acknowledgement of their pain and suffering.
