About the mission
About the Netherlands Consulate in South Australia
The Netherlands Consulate in South Australia provides honorary consular representation for the Netherlands in South Australia and the Northern Territory.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially designates the post as the Consulate of the Netherlands. It is headed by Mr Frank Weits, Honorary Consul of the Netherlands.
DFAT records Mr Weits‘ appointment from 21 December 2017. The honorary post forms part of the wider Dutch diplomatic and consular network in Australia alongside the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Canberra and the professional Consulate-General in Sydney.
Honorary consulates have a different role from professional diplomatic and consular missions. Many formal Dutch government applications are handled through the Consulate-General in Sydney, NetherlandsWorldwide or another designated application location.
