No Australians are believed to be among the hundreds of casualties of the deadly stampede at the annual hajj pilgrimage.
But the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade says it will continue checking with Saudi Arabian authorities for any updates on Australians potentially among the 717 pilgrims who died and 863 others wounded in the crush.
"At this stage no Australians have been affected by this tragedy," the department told AAP in a statement.
