The Chilean Consulate-General in Sydney has an officially recorded jurisdiction covering New South Wales, the Northern Territory and Queensland.
The Chilean Consulate-General in Melbourne covers Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania.
Chile also maintains consular posts in Queensland and Western Australia. Applicants should therefore check which office is responsible for their place of residence and the particular service they require.
