About the mission
About the Slovak Consulate in Brisbane
The Consulate of the Slovak Republic in Brisbane provides local Slovak consular representation in Queensland.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade officially designates the post as the Consulate of the Slovak Republic.
The mission is headed by Mr Michal Horvath, Honorary Consul of the Slovak Republic. DFAT records his appointment from 30 July 2008.
The Brisbane office is an honorary consular post. Its functions are therefore more limited than those of the professional Consulate General of the Slovak Republic in Sydney.
