Notice on attending appointments at the Australian Consulate-General
The Australian Consulate-General will only allow entry to clients who’s name shows on the appointment made through our system. Other members of the public attending with a person who has a booking should wait elsewhere while the appointment is completed. People assisting a client with a booking may be allowed entry and their details should be included in the ‘notes’ section when booking.
All attendee’s to the office (regardless of booking status) will be required to present ID, and are subject to routine temperate checks to ensure the safety of our office.
We now offer free passport delivery to Hong Kong and Macau. Ask our staff for more details at your next appointment.
Applications for Australian passports must be lodged in person. Children under 16 years do not need to attend interviews. You will need to make an appointment. We will only see you in exceptional circumstances without an appointment.
Please select the appointment type matching your application. To lodge two applications at the same time, select 2 Passport applications or for three applications, select 3 Passport applications. Please contact us in advance if you are applying for more than three passports at the same time. Take care to make correct selection as this may affect our ability to complete your application during the appointed time.
Please note that appointments are normally booked out up to 1 week in advance. Keep this in mind when making your travel plans.
