Embassy of Australia, United States of America

Australian companies. Australian capital. American jobs. American growth.

The Congressional Black Caucus represents bipartisan collaboration, resilience, and progress. These are values that Australia deeply respects. The Ambassador welcomed members and supporters to the Embassy to discuss how we’re building a strong US-Australia relationship for the future.

On critical minerals, Australia equals the periodic table. Ambassador Rudd discussed securing America's critical minerals future with Secretary Doug Burgum. Australia stands ready to help, given our great reserves and world class mining companies.

Effective deterrence is critical to building a safe and secure Indo-Pacific. Ambassador Rudd spoke to the next generation of US military leaders at the US Army War College. Great to see a few Aussies studying at the AWC in the audience!

Ambassador Rudd's interview on ABC Australia’s 7.30 Report about tariff negotiations with the Trump Administration.

That’s a wrap on Australia House at #SXSW! After three huge days of panel discussions, showcases and evening receptions, the home of Australia at South By has finished for another year. With speakers from big Aussie success stories like Atlassian, a workshop from Springboards.ai and a showcase of the best of Australian film and television, it was a week to remember.

Talking AUKUS, non-proliferation and shared arms control with Trump Senior Official Brent Christensen. Australia and the United States will continue to build on our already rock solid security partnership. Over a century of collaboration and counting.

Sport plays a vital role in Australian diplomacy. In the margins of the NRL in Las Vegas, representatives from across the Indo-Pacific discussed how to grow the game, and work together to build a safer and more secure region.

The eagle has landed ?? Varda Space Industries has made history with the first ever commercial space reentry in Australia. The company's W-2 capsule returned to Earth safely, with dual payloads on board from the Air Force and NASA. Mission complete!
