About the mission
About the Philippine Consulate in Brisbane
The Consulate of the Philippines in Brisbane provides honorary consular representation for the Philippines in Queensland.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially designates the post as the Consulate of the Philippines. It is headed by Ms Sheryll L. Gabutero, Honorary Consul of the Philippines.
DFAT records Ms Gabutero as Honorary Consul from 1 September 2022. The Philippine Embassy in Canberra also identifies her as the head of the Philippine Consulate in Brisbane.
The Brisbane Consulate forms part of the wider Philippine diplomatic and consular network in Australia. As an honorary consular post, its range of services is more limited than that of the Embassy in Canberra and the professional Consulates-General in Sydney and Melbourne.

Selected services
