Welcome to the Official Website of the High Commission of the Republic of Vanuatu in Australia

Warm greetings and welcome to the official website of the High Commission of the Republic of Vanuatu in Canberra.

It is a great honour and privilege for me to serve as Vanuatu's High Commissioner to Australia and to represent the Government and people of Vanuatu in this important bilateral relationship.

Australia and Vanuatu share a longstanding partnership founded on mutual respect, close people-to-people connections, regional cooperation, and a common commitment to peace, security, prosperity, and sustainable development in the Pacific. Our relationship continues to grow through cooperation in areas such as trade and investment, labour mobility, education, tourism, infrastructure, climate resilience, development partnerships, and regional stability.

This website serves as an important platform for providing information about the services and activities of the High Commission. Whether you are a Vanuatu citizen living, studying, working, or travelling in Australia, a member of the diplomatic community, a business stakeholder, a development partner, or simply someone interested in learning more about Vanuatu, we hope you will find the information helpful and informative.

The High Commission remains committed to promoting and protecting the interests of Vanuatu and its citizens while strengthening the friendship and cooperation between our two countries. We are also dedicated to fostering greater understanding of Vanuatu's rich cultural heritage, traditions, and opportunities.

As I commence my tenure in Australia, I look forward to working closely with the Australian Government, Pacific partners, the Vanuatu community in Australia, and all friends of Vanuatu to further deepen the bonds that unite our nations and peoples.

Thank you for visiting our website. I invite you to explore its contents and to engage with the High Commission as we work together to advance our shared aspirations for a stronger and more prosperous Pacific region.

Yours sincerely,

HE Jimmy Nipo
High Commissioner of the Republic of Vanuatu to Australia
Canberra, Australia
