About the mission
About the Russian Consulate General in Brisbane
The Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Brisbane provides honorary Russian consular representation in Queensland and Victoria.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially designates the post as the Consulate-General of the Russian Federation.
The mission is headed by Mrs Irina Bruk, Honorary Consul-General of Russia. DFAT records her appointment from 26 June 2007.
The Consulate General’s official website states that Irina Bruk was first appointed Honorary Consul of Russia in Queensland in 2007. Her jurisdiction was expanded to Victoria in 2013, when she became Honorary Consul-General for both states.
Although officially designated a Consulate General, the Brisbane mission is an honorary post. Its functions therefore differ from those of the professional Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Sydney.
