Temporary passport interview locations
The Australian Embassy and Australian Consulates-General occasionally visit other states to conduct passport interviews. The number of visits are limited and only a small number of locations are visited each year. We do not visit each state and there is no annual schedule . We normally provide 1-2 months notice of a confirmed visit which we advertise on this web page and through our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
