About 80 Australian troops will soon head to the Philippines to provide urban warfare and counter-terrorism training to help the nation's military in its fight against Islamic State-inspired militants.

Standing beside Philippines counterpart Delfin Lorenzana, Defence Minister Marise Payne announced mobile Australian Defence Force (ADF) teams would in "coming days" be stationed on military bases, providing training drawn from years of fighting in the Middle East.

"It is very practical training by the ADF which will support the Philippines Defence Force to be able to counter what are very brutal tactics by terrorists," Senator Payne said.

"It will include a range of skills related to combat on urban environments. It will involve information sharing and experience sharing to ensure that we are best able to use the skills that we have to hand."

The Defence Minister said Australia would also help provide more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, increase information-sharing, and carry out more naval patrols.

Senator Payne said the Australian Navy would send ships to the Philippines for visits to help support the development of the Philippines Navy.

Royal Australian Air Force surveillance aircraft are already operating in the southern Philippines, where the Government has just declared victory over Islamist militants in the besieged city of Marawi.

"There are no more militants in Marawi," Mr Lorenzana told reporters during a meeting of regional defence ministers.

The announcement comes as Philippines troops captured a building where pro-Islamic State militants made their final stand.

Two security officials said they found dozens of bodies of suspected gunmen inside. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to make public the latest developments in Marawi, where government forces have begun a gradual withdrawal as the fighting eased in recent days.

Armed forces chief General Eduardo Ano said at least 42 bodies of rebels had been found in two buildings and a mosque in the battle zone.
