Welcome
Welcome to the Australian Consulate-General in Lae, Papua New Guinea. Australia’s then-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Julie Bishop, formally opened the Consulate-General on 8 March 2017.
Lae is the principal metropolis for northern PNG. The city and surrounding Morobe Province contain thriving agricultural, manufacturing, services and resources industries. Lae is home to many long-term Australian residents and short-term business visitors. Australians also travel to Lae to visit the Lae War Cemetery, a significant site for Australian and Papua New Guinean soldiers killed in World War II.
The Consulate-General supports business, development and people-to-people links and provides consular, passport and notarial services to Australian citizens.
