ANY potential political actions against Russia would be unlikely to impact upon Australia's paralympians, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says.
As international outcry continues over Russia's actions in Ukraine, Britain has withdrawn its political delegation from the Sochi Games.
Australian did not send a delegation. However, team Chef de Mission Chris Nunn says the decision was pre-planned and has nothing to do with the current political situation.
Asked on Thursday night whether an Australian boycott was possible, foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop said the government was considering all options in response to the Ukraine crisis.
But whether Australian athletes decided to go to the Games was a matter for them, Ms Bishop added.
"I am aware of the volatility in the situation," she told reporters in Sydney.
"Its very fluid, its a highly charged atmosphere.
"But it is a matter for the individuals to determine with the best advice available to them whether they will participate."
Mr Nunn said the team had magnificent support from the Australian Federal Police.
"They've been advising us all along, and we are absolutely comfortable that we're in good hands," he said.
