Zurich, Switzerland (BBN)-A key security official from the world governing body will meet with a delegation from the football associations of both countries in Dhaka on Saturday to assess plans for the 17 November match.
Last month, Cricket Australia cancelled its tour of the South Asian country due to safety concerns, reports the SBS.com.au.
The federal government's travel advisory bulletin asks Australians in Bangladesh to "exercise a high degree of caution".
It also states "as of late September 2015, there is reliable information to suggest that militants may be planning to target Australian and Western interests in Bangladesh".
Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop said the safety of travelling Socceroos and support staff was his chief concern regarding the fixture.
"FFA has been advised overnight that FIFA will send its Dedicated Match Security Officer to Bangladesh on Saturday to meet with a delegation from FFA and local Bangladesh authorities to inspect the security plans," Gallop said.
"FFA would like to reiterate the fact that the safety of the players and staff are the primary priority and no decision will be made until all of the facts and information, including assessing and testing detailed security plans, have been obtained.
"We expect to be able to say more early next week."
East Timor, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Myanmar and Yemen have all played home fixtures outside of their territory during this phase of Asian qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Bangladesh have played three qualifiers in Dhaka, against non-Western nations Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Jordan.
Australia play Kyrgyzstan in Canberra on 12 November, before the scheduled trip to Bangladesh.
