Welcome to the Australian High Commission in Mauritius. We are also accredited to Seychelles, Comoros and Madagascar and have consular accreditation to Reunion Island.
Australia has strong and longstanding relations with our fellow island nations in the south west Indian Ocean. We share an interest in a peaceful, prosperous and open region. We cooperate in trade and investment, tourism, culture, the blue economy, climate change resilience amongst many other fields.
Australia is committed to working with the countries in this region as a friend and partner, including through the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) and the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA).
