Petition for Bangladesh Consulate Office at Melbourne
.jpg)
The Victorian Bangladeshi community and local organisations have long advocated and petitioned for the establishment of a full, permanent Bangladesh Consulate or Assistant High Commission in Melbourne. At present, consular services for Victoria are primarily provided by the Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra, requiring many community members to travel interstate or send important documents by post.
Why is this important?
Given that Melbourne is home to one of Australia’s largest Bangladeshi communities, establishing a permanent diplomatic mission in the city would provide more accessible, efficient and timely consular services.
