Notice on attending appointments at the Australian Consulate-General
The Australian Consulate-General only allows entry to clients with appointments. Other members of the public should wait elsewhere while the appointment is completed. People assisting a client may be allowed entry and their details should be included in the ‘notes’ section when booking an appointment.
All clients (regardless of booking status) must present ID, pass through security screening and undergo routine temperature checks.
We now offer free passport delivery to Hong Kong and Macau. Ask our staff for more details at your next appointment.
Australian passports applications must be lodged in person and appointments must be made. We will only see you in exceptional circumstances without an appointment.
Children under 16 years do not need to attend interviews.
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.
Please note that appointments are normally booked out up to 4 weeks in advance. It will also take a minimum of 6 weeks for your new passport to arrive. Keep this in mind when making your travel plans.
Please see our Passport Application Infomation and Passport Photo guidelines.
