We assist Australians overseas within limits. Our capacity to assist is influenced by local laws and conditions, international rules governing consular work, and by the cooperation offered by persons and organisations. This does not diminish the obligation of Australian citizens to keep themselves informed on the situation in the country likely to affect their safety or to meet costs incurred in rendering assistance.
In the event of an emergency during business hours, please call the Embassy:
- Australian Embassy in Buenos Aires: +54 11 4779 3500
In the event of an emergency outside business hours, please call the Consular Emergency Centre:
- Consular Emergency Centre in Canberra: +61 2 6261 3305 or toll free (local call cost only in Australia) 1300 555 135
