FEDERAL ELECTIONS
The next federal election will be held on 21 May 2022. If you are still in Australia, you can pre-poll vote from 9 May 2022.

The Australian Embassy in Warsaw provides passport, consular and notarial services by appointments only.
If you have a consular or passport emergency, please contact the Embassy on +48 22 521 3444 or email: [email protected] or our 24/7 Consular Emergency Centre on +61 2 6261 3305 or SMS on +61 421 269 080 for further advice.
Please Note:
The Australian Passport Office (APO) is currently seeing strong demand for passports. For this reason, it is advising its customers to apply for or renew their passport well ahead of their planned travel dates. The APO is therefore recommending, at least for now, that they allow up to six weeks to get a new passport.
