Prime Minister Tony Abbott says he's left "no stone unturned" in efforts to prevent the death penalty for Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
The Bali Nine drug smuggling ringleaders remain on death row in Indonesia after their application for a final judicial review was rejected.
"We oppose the death penalty, we do what ever we humanly can to try to ensure that no Australian suffers the death penalty," Mr Abbott told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.
"We are not going to engage in last-minute, megaphone diplomacy but I just want to assure people that the Australian Government has left no stone unturned to try to ensure that these two Australians on death row have their sentences commuted.
"We've left no stone unturned."
Chan and Sukumaran appear to have exhausted avenues to escape execution.
When asked whether Australia should recall its ambassador from Indonesia if the execution goes ahead, opposition leader Bill Shorten said he didn't want to contemplate anything that assumed the death of the pair.
"Where there is life there is hope," Mr Shorten also told reporters in Melbourne on Thursday.
"The lawyers for the family, and Australian foreign affairs representatives, are doing everything they can."
