Planning your visit
Appointments and Consular Visits
The Consular Office has more limited public hours than the Embassy itself.
DFAT currently lists consular service hours as Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Applicants should contact the Consular Office or check the latest Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs instructions before travelling, as individual services may require prior arrangements or supporting documents.
Before visiting: do not rely on the general embassy hours of 9:00 am–4:00 pm for consular matters. Check that your service is available during the Consular Office’s public hours.
Consular responsibilities
Jurisdiction and Consular Responsibilities
Greece divides consular responsibilities in Australia among the Embassy in Canberra and a network of Consulates-General and Consulates.
The Greek Consulate-General in Sydney covers New South Wales except Newcastle and Maitland.
The Greek Consulate in East Maitland covers Newcastle and Maitland.
The Greek Consulate-General in Adelaide has jurisdiction over South Australia, while the Greek Consulate-General in Melbourne covers Victoria.
The Greek Consulate in Perth covers Western Australia, the Greek Consulate in Brisbane covers Queensland, and the Greek Consulate in Hobart covers Tasmania.
Because DFAT does not publish a separate territorial jurisdiction statement for the Canberra Consular Office on the current mission page, applicants should confirm directly with the embassy that Canberra is the correct office for their particular place of residence and service.
