The Department monitors and analyses major Australian political developments and the general Australian view on a broad range of Israeli policies and topics of interest. For this purpose, the Department is in regular contact with Australian government ministries, members of Parliament and leading political figures in Australia. We promote Israeli interests by advocating Israeli policy and explain Israel’s positions.

Furthermore, the Department promotes bilateral issues in various sectors, such as economy, infrastructure and development aid. This includes enhancing official Australian and Israeli visits and forums.
