Greek Embassies and Consulates in Australia
Greece maintains five career diplomatic posts across Australia: an Embassy in Canberra and Consulates General in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney, plus a Consulate in Perth. This reflects one of the largest Greek diaspora populations outside Greece itself, with Melbourne alone home to one of the largest Greek-speaking populations of any city in the world after Athens and Thessaloniki. Together, these offices cover every state and territory in the country, providing passport, visa, notarial, civil registry, and citizenship services to Greek citizens and residents nationwide.
