The Australian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia is the Australian Government’s foremost diplomatic representative in Saudi Arabia, who also holds non-resident accreditation for Bahrain, Oman and Yemen. Australia appointed its first ambassador to Saudi Arabia in 1974.[1] Initially the embassy was located in Jeddah, but it was moved in 1984 to Riyadh, to comply with a Saudi Government policy directive. The Jeddah post remained open, as a Consulate-General.[2]
