British High Commission in Canberra

The British High Commission in Canberra is the chief diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in Australia. It works to develop and sustain the close and historic relationship between the UK and Australia, covering a wide range of political, economic, and security interests. It also provides consular services to British nationals in the Australian Capital Territory.

Visa services for Australia are not handled by the High Commission. Individuals seeking to travel to the UK should consult the official UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) website for information on application procedures and requirements.

The High Commission offers consular assistance to British citizens, including emergency travel documents, notarial services, and support in cases of arrest, hospitalization, or death. Consular services for other parts of Australia are provided by Consulates-General in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane.
