Consular services
We provide consular services to Australians overseas in line with the Consular Services Charter. Our capacity to assist is influenced by local laws and conditions, international rules governing consular work, and by the cooperation offered by persons and organisations. This does not diminish the obligation of Australian citizens to keep themselves informed on the situation in the country likely to affect their safety or to meet costs incurred in rendering assistance.

Before you go, read the travel advisory for the destinations you're travelling to, and through. You can subscribe to get an email when we update the advice for your destinations.
