The group has been outlawed in the UK since early last year, and members have been convicted of encouraging terrorism, disseminating terror material, and preparations for a terrorist act.
Decisions to list terror groups are made on the advice of security agencies like ASIO.
As a result of the listing, it will become an offence to be a member of the group, fund the group, or in some circumstances associate with members of the group.
Penalties can range to up to 25 years in prison.
