The Canada–Australia Consular Services Sharing Agreement (Template:Lang-fr) is a bilateral agreement between the governments of Australia and Canada for each country to provide consular assistance to citizens of the other in situations which are from time to time agreed between the two countries.[1] The consular services are available in identified locations where only one country has diplomatic representation.[2]

This agreement has been in place since August 7th 1986 when the Right Honourable Joe Clark, P.C., M.P., Secretary of State for External Affairs of Canada and the Honourable Bill Hayden, M.P., Minister for Foreign Affairs of Australia exchanged notes to create the agreement. The agreement was renewed in 2001, specifying in particular 14 Canadian posts[3] (mostly in West African and the Latin American countries[3]) and 13 Australian delegations (mainly in the South Pacific), where consular services are shared.[1]
