The federal government will offer temporary humanitarian visas to Ukrainians who have arrived in Australia.
The visas will be valid for three years and allow people to work, study and access Medicare.
In a statement released on Sunday, the government announced it had extended sanctions against Russia and stepped up aid for Ukraine.
"Ukraine is showing remarkable courage and resilience as it endures Russia's unprovoked war," the statement read.
The Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO) welcomed the government's announcement.
Co-chair Stefan Romaniw said the AFUO agreed with the government there would be a "staged approach to issues".
"The first step was to remove these people - predominantly women and children - from harm's way," he said.
"Today's announcement is the next step – setting up arrangements that will allow these people to pick up their lives again on the other side of the world.
"We thank the Australian Government for swiftly bringing displaced Ukrainian people to our shores and supporting them with appropriate arrangements. By doing this, Australia is showing its support for decency, democracy, and freedom from tyranny." Mr Romaniw said.
Federal Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said the government will continue to identify further opportunities to assist.
"We have seen the terrible human toll and tragedy as Russia is violating international laws, showing complete disregard for women, children and human life," he told ABC's Insiders program.
"That is why we are standing so strongly with the Ukrainian government and responding specifically to their requests wherever Australia can."
The AFUO has created a to collect offers of temporary accommodation, household items, clothing, and medical assistance from Australian community groups.
Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the immigration department has issued nearly 4,500 visas to Ukrainians, and more than 600 people from Ukraine have arrived in Australia so far.
A further $30 million will be provided in emergency humanitarian assistance, aimed to, particularly aid women, children, the elderly and people with disability.
The government also announced more military aid for Ukraine and will be providing a $21 million package from Australian Defence Force stocks.
It brings Australia's total military assistance for Ukraine to $91 million.
Australia will donate at least 70,000 tonnes of thermal coal to help supply energy in Ukraine and it's banned exports of alumina and aluminium ores to Russia.
This measure is designed to limit Russia's capacity to produce aluminium, which is one of Russia's critical exports.
Russia relies on Australia for nearly 20 per cent of its alumina needs.
