The Australian Government has directed the departure of Australian officials from the Australian Embassy in Tehran due to the volatile security situation. Our Embassy and operations in Tehran are now closed.

The security situation is unpredictable and could deteriorate further with little warning. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Iran is extremely limited. Australians in need of consular assistance should call the Australian Government 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre on 1300 555 135 in Australia or +61 2 6261 3305 outside Australia.

Visit Smartraveller for the Australian Government's travel advice for Iran and subscribe for updates. Monitor the media for latest information and follow the advice of local authorities.

If you're an Australian citizen or permanent resident in Iran, you can now register on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's 
crisis registration portal. We will communicate directly with registered Australians with important updates.
