About the mission
About the Finnish Consulate in Perth
The Finnish Consulate in Perth provides honorary consular representation for Finland in Western Australia.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially lists the post as the Consulate of Finland. Finland’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs includes Perth in its network of honorary consulates in Australia.
The post is headed by Markku Hakala, Honorary Consul of Finland. DFAT records his appointment from 25 March 2026, and the official consular jurisdiction is Western Australia.
Finland’s principal diplomatic mission in Australia is the Embassy of Finland in Canberra. Honorary consulates complement the Embassy by providing local assistance and contacts in different parts of Australia.
Consular assistance
Consular services
The Perth office is an honorary consular post. Its functions are more limited than the full consular services available through the Embassy of Finland in Canberra.
Assistance for Finnish citizens
The Honorary Consul can provide advice and guidance to Finnish citizens and people permanently resident in Finland who encounter difficulties while temporarily in Western Australia.
Certificates and guidance
Certain types of notarised certificates may be available through Finnish honorary consuls. Contact the Consulate first to confirm whether the service you require can be provided locally.
Business and local contacts
Honorary consuls support Finland’s economic and cultural relations and can assist Finnish companies with information about local business conditions and contacts.
Service limitations: Finnish honorary consuls do not accept passport applications and do not handle visa or residence permit matters. Contact the Embassy of Finland in Canberra for services that cannot be provided by the Perth Consulate.
