Diplomatic staff who had been stationed in Kyiv have been directed to a temporary office in Lviv in Ukraine's west.
Acting deputy secretary national security and international policy Rod Brazier told Senate estimates the final five remaining staff members had arrived in Lviv on Sunday.
"(Sunday) morning as a result of the threat to peace and stability in the region, the Australian embassy in Kyiv was temporarily closed," he said.
"The embassy has set up a facility for operations. This is a temporary move that will be kept under review considering the security situation."
The prime minister said the situation in Europe was increasingly uncertain.
"It is time to stand up against those who seek to bully, whether it is Australia, Lithuania or indeed Ukraine," he said.
"It is time to stand up to the bullies, to the autocrats who work together."
Trade Minister Dan Tehan said Australia would enact strong economic sanctions against Russia should an invasion be carried out.
"We want a de-escalation, but if (invasion) happens, then you'll be looking at sanctions and we'll be a part of that," he said.
Mr Tehan said an invasion would also likely lead to an increase in oil and gas prices and put pressure on international markets.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the situation in Ukraine had reached a "dangerous juncture".
"It's a very dangerous situation and the reverberations will be felt far and wide if, in fact, the Russians do invade," Mr Frydenberg told the Nine Network.

驻华外国记者协会(FCCC)1月31日发布报告，对2021年的中国新闻报道环境做出年终总结。报告称，去年驻华外国记者遭遇了前所未有的困难，尤其是关于新疆和香港等主题的新闻报道。自新冠疫情爆发以来，中国政府以防疫为理由不批发新记者签证，使得很多媒体面临人手短缺问题。记者和他们的消息提供人频繁遭遇来自官方或警方的骚扰、盘问，以及网络攻击。尤其让记者感到不安的是，除了普遍的敌对情绪，他们还面临可能的法律纠纷。
