The embassy and consulate are both important tools for establishing and maintaining international relationships between two nations. However, both of them have their own importance and functions.

The embassy is located in the capital city of the host country and, thus, plays a central role in maintaining diplomatic relationships between them and the host country. This is why the embassy has a broader set of responsibilities and staff.

On the other hand, the consulate acts as the branch of the embassy and oversees other tasks like issuing visas and resolving passport and visa-related problems. Moreover, there can be multiple consulates in the host country, unlike the embassy, which can only be one.

The Embassy of Australia in India is representative of their nation, and on their government's behalf, they need to fulfil these functions:

• It is the function of the Australian Embassy in India to work towards the promotion of cultural, social and economic relationships between India and Australia.

• The Australian Embassy in India undertakes the process of visa application and issuing. Thus, it provides several services related to it, too, which will be discussed further in the article.

• It is the function of the Australian Embassy to issue birth and marriage certificates to Australian citizens.
