Greek citizens living in Australia apply in person for a new or renewed Greek passport (10 years for adults, 3 years for minors under 14). Citizenship must already be registered with a Greek municipality; people of Greek descent who are not registered Greek citizens cannot apply.
Where to apply in Australia
Embassy of Greece consular office in Canberra (ACT); Consulates General in Sydney (NSW), Melbourne (VIC) and Adelaide (SA); Consulate in Perth (WA). Honorary consulates (East Maitland, Darwin, Brisbane, Hobart) are listed on the site but the pages fetched do not say they take these services. Applicants go to the post covering their place of residence.
Contact details for every office are on the page of the embassy and consulates of Greece.
