Latest update:We’ve reviewed our advice and continue to advise do not travel to Mali. There's an ongoing and very high threat of terrorism throughout Mali, including the capital, Bamako. Terrorists have targeted security forces, civilians and foreign interests, resulting in casualties, including civilians. Attacks can occur in places visited by foreigners, including airports, public transport and transportation hubs, tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centres, markets and hotels (see 'Safety').
The security situation in southern Mali has further deteriorated. The kidnapping risk of foreign nationals in southern Mali is increasing. Foreign nationals and foreign interests, including mining operations, may be targeted.

Do not travel to Mali due to the high threat of terrorism and kidnapping. The Canadian Embassy can provide limited emergency consular assistance to Australians (see 'Local contacts').
