List of ambassadors of Australia to Hungary

The Australian Ambassador to Hungary is the Australian Government's foremost diplomatic representative in Hungary. The Australian Government established an embassy in Budapest in October 1984,[1] and appointed its first resident Ambassador, Oliver Cordell.[2] Previously, responsibility for Australian diplomatic representation in Hungary was held in Austria (1971–1985).[3] At the time, Bill Hayden, then Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs, said that closer ties with Hungary could help Australia to encourage dialogue between the United States and the Soviet Union on matters such as disarmament.[4]
