The Australian Consulate General is strategically located in Honolulu’s major financial, business and trade district. It is also within close vicinity to two major hospitals and the airport. Honolulu’s International Airport is a “hub” for travellers worldwide and a major transit point for those travelling to mainland USA and Canada. Hawai’i itself is a major tourist destination for travellers from across the globe. There are an estimated 900 Australians living in the consular region which covers the islands of the State of Hawai’i.
Hawai’i is the home of the US Pacific Command (USPACOM) the headquarters responsible for US military activities in over fifty percent of the earth’s surface including Southeast Asia. USPACOM has approximately 300,000 personnel and includes the world’s largest naval command – the US Pacific Fleet.

The Consulate General is responsible for managing Australia’s relationship with USPACOM.
