Fears Newcastle and Hunter residents may have been caught up in the London Terrorist attack have been allayed.
The Foreign Minister says no Australians have been hurt or killed in the attack.
British police have confirmed the death toll has risen to five people.
The attack unfolded when a car was driven into pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge before an officer was stabbed.
The attacker was shot and later died in hospital - about 40 people have been injured in the attack.
Julie Bishop says she's been in contact with UK officials.
"I understand the British police are treating it as a terrorist incident until other information comes to hand. I can assure Australians that to this point, no Australians have been identified as being involved," she said.
