Initial ship arrest in Australia is fast, simple and inexpensive. All that is required is a Writ, Application for Arrest Warrant, Arrest Warrant and a pro-forma affidavit. There is a filing fee and the court requires a deposit on account of its costs and expenses of the arrest (insurance, travel of court staff, vessel moves etc). Once the papers are filed a court officer or his/her delegate attends on the vessel to effect the arrest. Officers are available to travel to remote ports for that purpose.
Ship arrest is governed by the Admiralty Act 1988 (the Act). However, there are many similarities between the Act and the 1952 Convention.

国际扣船实务 – 澳大利亚
在澳大利亚，初次船舶扣押是快速、简单且成本不高的。所需要的只是一份令状，扣押令申请，扣押令和一份形式宣誓书。还有申请费用以及法院要求因扣押而产生的成本和费用的存款（保险，法院工作人员的差旅，船只移动等）。提交文件后，法院官员或其代表即就船只进行扣押。为此目的，执行官们可以前往远程港口。
船舶扣押适用《1988年海事法》（简称该法案）。但是，该法案与1952年公约之间有很多相似之处。
