Bonn Convention
The Bonn Convention, also referred to as the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species (CMS), lists threatened species that cyclically and predictably cross one or more national jurisdictional boundaries (migratory species) and where concerted conservation efforts and effective management of those species is required by range States. Australia is a Party to the Bonn Convention and implements requirements for species listed under its Appendices under the EPBC Act.
Bilateral migratory bird agreements
Australia's bilateral migratory bird agreements provide for the protection and conservation of migratory birds and their important habitats, protection from take or trade except under limited circumstances, the exchange of information, and building cooperative relationships. The following agreements are currently in place:
       * CAMBA agreement: China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement
       * JAMBA agreement: Japan-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement, and
       * ROKAMBA agreement: Republic of Korea-Australia Migratory Bird Agreement.

The annexes to JAMBA, CAMBA and ROKAMBA identify species known to be regular and predictable migrants between the agreement countries. JAMBA also refers to endangered bird species of each country, but none of these species are regular migrants between Australia and Japan.
Marine species
Under the EPBC Act, a listed marine species is a species that occurs naturally in a Commonwealth marine area and requires long-term conservation. Its listing under the EPBC Act makes it an offence to kill, injure, take, trade, keep or move that species in a Commonwealth area without a permit and without notification of the action having occurred
