Haisem Zahab, 42, fronted Parramatta Local Court last week and pleaded guilty to giving or receiving goods to promote a section 119.1 offence.
Section 119.1 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code relates to Australian citizens and residents engaging in hostile activities in foreign countries.
A second count of the same charge was withdrawn by the Crown.
Zahab also entered a plea of guilty to failing to comply with an order to assist with access to data.
The Australian-born electrician was arrested and charged in February last year for allegedly supporting the Islamic State terror group and will now remain behind bars until his sentencing hearing.
Under the Commonwealth Criminal Code, the offences Zahab committed carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Zahab will face the Supreme Court of Sydney on December 7 for sentencing.
