Foreign Minister Julie Bishop says so far no Australians have been reported killed in Paris, but security operations are ongoing, including near the Australian embassy.
"There are still no reports of any Australian having been killed in any of the terrorist incidents that occurred in Paris," Ms Bishop said on Sunday morning.
The foreign minister said, however, that the situation in the French capital remained "very tense, very sombre".
Ms Bishop also confirmed about 100 police had converged on the Pullman Hotel in Paris, near the Australian embassy, amid an ongoing security situation in the wake of the deadly Islamic State assaults which claimed at least 129 lives.
Witnesses reported heavily armed officers going from room to room at the hotel, although the incident was later declared a false alarm.
Ms Bishop had been speaking on the telephone with Australian ambassador to France Stephen Brady at the time.
"It does show that the French authorities are hyper vigilant and are responding very quickly to any particular incident," she told the Nine Network on Sunday.
"Security operations are still ongoing around the Eiffel Tower and around our embassy area."
Hundreds more were injured in the attacks after three suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a soccer stadium on the outskirts of the city, and others were attacked at a concert venue in central Paris.
One Australian - Emma Grace Parkinson, 19, from Tasmania - was confirmed as being among the injured.
Ms Parkinson was near the Bataclan theatre when gunmen opened fire on concert-goers who were watching US band Eagles of Death Metal.
"Given the horrendous security situation in Paris, the fact that it is a state of emergency, there are border controls and it is an ongoing security situation, we advise Australians to re-think the need for them to be in Paris," Ms Bishop said.
The foreign minister also refused to rule out Australia increasing its presence in Iraq or Syria in response to the attacks.
Islamic State, which claims as its capital the city of Raqqa in Syria, says it is responsible for the attacks.
"Our position in relation to Syria and Iraq is constantly under review," Ms Bishop said.
"We've not been asked to provide further support at this stage but of course we would consider if asked."
Australia's domestic security arrangements were always under review.
"The advice from our security agencies is that the threat alert level in Australia remains at high," she said.
