He also pleaded guilty to three other offences.
Azami was 19 years old at the time of his arrest earlier this year.
Asked by the judge if he understood the charges and what was happening to him, he replied ‘Yes’.
At an earlier court hearing in April, police said they had intercepted phone calls between Azami, Haurun Causevic, 18, of Hampton and Sevdet Besim, 18, of Hallum.
Causevic and Besim have been charged with conspiring to commit a terrorist act in relation to a plot to attack a police officer on Anzac Day 2015.
Azami was remanded in custody to appear in the County Court in October.
