An Australian woman linked to the Islamic State who had been living in the community for months since returning from Syria has been charged with terrorism offences.
The 34-year-old Melbourne woman, who returned from Syria via Lebanon with her family in September 2025, was charged by the AFP under Operation Kurrajong.
Police allege she went to a declared conflict zone and joined the terrorist organisation the Islamic State, or ISIS, against Australian law.
She is expected to appear before the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Both offences carry a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment.
It will be alleged the woman travelled to Syria between 2013 and 2014.
She was detained by Kurdish forces in 2019 and held with her family at the al-Hawl detention camp in north-east Syria.
