Welcome to the website of the Representatives of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Australia.

Australia and the Netherlands are closer neighbours 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.

I hope that this website will provide you with the information and the links you seek.
