The Consulate of the Netherlands

Australia and the Netherlands are closer neighbors than the geographical distance might suggest.

Australia is a popular holiday destination for especially the younger set of Dutchmen, and the Netherlands is an important partner for Australian business.

In the cultural field there is an ongoing exchange of artists, classical musicians, choreographers and dancers, painters and sculptors and photographers and filmmakers.

The sizeable number of Dutch permanent residents in Australia (estimated at 70.000) and the more than 200.000 Australians of Dutch descent guarantee that the relations between both countries will endure.

The Consulate of the Netherlands has an extensive web site with detailed information about consular affairs, office locations around Australia, economy & trade information, press & culture updates and many links to usefully external web pages:
