The Australian Ambassador to Nepal is the Australian Government's foremost diplomatic representative in Nepal. The Ambassador resides in Kathmandu.[1]

Between 1970 and April 1984, Australian representation was carried out by a non-resident Ambassador based in the Australian High Commission in New Delhi. The Australian Embassy in Kathmandu was opened in April 1984.[2] According to the Australian Government, the diplomatic mission was opened to improve consular services for Australians in Nepal and to facilitate the delivery of the Australian aid program to the country.[3]
