The federal government is working to confirm reports that another Australian has been killed in Syria.
"We are aware of unconfirmed reports of an Australian death in Syria," A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.
"As a matter of course, whenever contacted by next of kin in relation to a reported death of an Australian overseas, the department follows up."
DFAT says it would welcome any further information the media is able to provide.
The reports come just days after a Sydney woman Amira Ali and her husband Yusuf Ali were killed in the war-torn country.
At least seven Australians have died in fighting in the country since the civil war began in 2011.
DFAT is reminding Australians that it does not have an embassy in Syria so its capacity to deliver consular help is "extremely limited".
It continues to advise Australians in Syria to leave.
