List of Australian diplomatic missions

Embassy of Australia in Moscow

List of Australian diplomatic missions - after Australia gained dominion rights in 1901, its foreign policy was closely linked to the policy pursued by the British cabinet for a long time. By 1939, Australia had only two representative offices abroad - in London (the so-called Australian House ) and in Washington , at the British Embassy. By 1940, missions in Ottawa and Tokyo were added to them, and during the Second World War , also in Moscow, Chongqing and Noumea. Australia currently has over 80 diplomatic missions abroad. Australia entered into a special agreement with Canada on mutual protection of interests, on the basis of which 21 interests in Australia are also represented in 21 Canadian missions in cities where there are no Australian missions. Accordingly, 19 Australian missions carry out similar work in favor of Canada where there are no Canadian missions. In the countries of the British Commonwealth , which includes Australia, its embassies are led by the High Commissioner in the rank of ambassador.
