Our Consular Section protects and safeguards the interests of Australian citizens/residents in Ireland within the limits of Irish law. The Consular Services Charter sets out the standards of service all Australians can expect to receive from consular staff including what we can and cannot do.
Consular assistance is available to assist you or your family:
- during crises/emergencies, such as natural disasters
- in the event of arrest and detention/imprisonment
- with concerns for welfare and whereabout
- during medical emergency, hospitalisation, or death
- Australian elections
- notarial services and legalisation of documents
- the issuance and renewal of passports
