Welcome to the Australian High Commission website. The High Commission in Malta tries to ensure that this site is a useful and informative resource for both Australians and Maltese about Australia's wide-ranging interests in Malta.

 

Strong ties of immigration and history between Australia and Malta form the basis of the bilateral relationship. The Maltese migrant community in Australia, the largest outside of Malta, has contributed greatly to the development of a multicultural Australia. This important connection is supported by bilateral agreements covering social security, double taxation, health services, air services and a working holiday maker scheme.

Australia and Malta are both strongly committed to the United Nations and share common interests through membership of the Commonwealth. Prime Minister John Howard attended the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Malta in November 2005.

I arrived in Malta in August 2006 and look forward with pleasure to living and working here over the next three years.
