A second cohort of Australian women and children linked to the terrorist group Islamic State have purchased plane tickets to return home.
The group of so-called "ISIS brides" had left the Al-Roj refugee camp in Syria on Thursday and were heading to the capital Damascus.
While it has been confirmed plane tickets have been purchased, the exact time of their return to Australia is not yet known.
It's expected one member of the group will not be allowed to fly to Australia, after the federal government imposed a temporary exclusion order on the person.
The exclusion order would ban the person from entering Australia for two years due to national security grounds, despite being a citizen.
The cohort originally travelled to the Middle East with men who sought to fight for Islamic State before the caliphate was toppled in 2019.
