The Australian Government is now in a caretaker period in advance of the forthcoming election. Until a new government is sworn in, government operations are conducted in accordance with the caretaker conventions.

Welcome to the Australian Embassy Ireland

The Embassy’s role is to promote Australian interests in Ireland, and build on the extremely warm, friendly and productive relationship between our countries. We also provide consular assistance and advice to Australians in Ireland, pass on news on upcoming events in Australia and Ireland.

We are continually looking to update our website to make it more accessible, and to highlight the huge range of activities that go on between our two countries all the time – whether visits at the top of government, the growing number of business dealings, or sporting, cultural and educational exchanges. We are a small team, and can’t get to everything, but we want to support as much of this activity as possible.

So if you know of anything that’s about to happen in Ireland that is related to Australia please contact us.
