Military strikes have occurred in the Middle East. There's a risk of ongoing reprisal attacks and escalation across the region. Local security situations could deteriorate.
Australian citizens, permanent residents and their immediate family in Israel, Iran, Qatar and the UAE can register with DFAT. We will send important updates directly to registered Australians. Keep your registration up-to-date so we can contact you.
The safety of all Australians, including our diplomatic staff overseas, is our priority. Opening hours at Australian Embassies and Consulates across the region may be impacted by the security situation. Officials may be working from other locations. We will continue to update our advice as information becomes available.
