- Driver's licence validity confirmationZimbabwean licence holders abroad can request confirmation of validity from the Central Vehicle Registry in Harare; the request is sent to the registry, not the embassy.
- Adult passport (new application)Zimbabwean citizens in Australia start a passport application at the embassy, which verifies documents and takes fingerprints, then forms go on to the Registrar of Passports in Harare via a representative.
- Child passport (under 18)Parents apply for a passport for a Zimbabwean child under 18 through the embassy, following the same verification-then-Harare route as adults.
- Temporary employment work permitForeign professionals, journalists, short-contract staff and researchers apply for a Zimbabwe temporary employment permit directly to the Department of Immigration in Harare, not the embassy.
