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.

Please do not call us to find out more about visits that may occur in the future as there is no further information we can provide. If you are interested in attending an interview at a temporary office location in the future, the best advice we can give you is to monitor this page for updates.  If the options listed are not convenient for you, please make arrangements to lodge at one of our permanent offices.

You can check this list of locations we have visited in the past as a guide to the frequency and location of visits.
