The Australian Government, through its consular officers, endeavours to provide assistance to Australian citizens within their limits. Australians who choose to travel overseas should be as prepared and self-reliant as possible. Our Consular Service Charter (also in Arabic) outlines what the Embassy and its consular staff can and can't do to assist you.
The provision of consular services to Australians in Iraq is extremely limited due to the security environment. We may be further limited in the assistance we can provide if you are an Iraqi dual national.
