Services for Australians Overseas
The Australian Embassy strongly recommends all Australians travelling overseas, whether for tourism or business or for short or long stays, to register with Smart Traveller, with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The Australian Embassy in Zimbabwe can provide consular support to Australian citizens in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia and The Democratic Republic of Congo within limits.
Please refer to the Smartraveller website for a list of the full range services provided to Australians overseas.
Australian travellers are advised to check the Smartraveller website for country specific travel advice before arranging travel or travelling to their destination. We also recommend that you regularly check the Travel Bulletin for country or region updates that may affect your travel plans.
In case of emergency
If you are an Australian citizen in distress and requiring assistance in Zimbabwe, you can telephone the Australian Embassy or the 24hr consular section in Canberra. Outside business hours please leave a message and our duty officer will contact you.

Travel information for Australians
Get the latest travel advisories and other traveller hints from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Please be aware that when you travel overseas you are required to obey the local laws and regulations. Being Australian does not exempt you from local laws, whether they relate to drugs or other matters.
If you encounter serious problems while you are abroad, you should seek assistance or advice from a consular official at the nearest Australian Mission. There are limits to the services Australian Consuls can provide and what assistance they can give you
Visa information for Australians
The issue of visas to Australian travellers is a matter for the government of the country to be visited. Visa fees and requirements may change with little or no notice. Visa information for Australians wishing to travel to Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi or the DRC should therefore be obtained from the relevant authorities directly.
