About the mission
About the Australian Consulate in Miami
The Australian Consulate in Miami is an honorary Australian consular post in Coral Gables, Florida.

Florida forms part of the consular and passport jurisdiction of the Australian Embassy in Washington DC. Australians requiring routine government services should therefore use the Embassy or another appropriate professional Australian mission.
