Australia opens new 'Home Affairs Office' in Dhaka

As part of Australia's growing bilateral relationship with Bangladesh, the Albanese Labour Government has announced the establishment of a new 'Home Affairs Office' in Dhaka.

"This was raised with me on my recent visit to Bangladesh and I'm pleased we've been able to work with the interim government to make it happen," said Australian Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke, MP on Thursday.

This reflects the shared commitment to promoting safe and regular migration opportunities and combatting irregular migration and people smuggling, the Australian Ministry said.
The office will support prospective Bangladesh migrants by increasing access to comprehensive visa information services for people who are considering lawful and regular migration to Australia. �"UNB
