The Apostolic Nunciature to Australia is an ecclesiastical office of the Roman Catholic Church in Australia. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio to Australia with the rank of an ambassador. The office of the nunciature is located in Manuka, Canberra.

The mission was established as the Apostolic Delegation to Australasia by Pope Pius X on 15 April 1914 and given responsibility for Australia, Tasmania,[a] and New Zealand.[1] Bonaventura Cerretti was named its first head on 10 May.[2] It was renamed the Delegation to Australia, New Zealand and Oceania on 8 June 1947.[3] On 1 November 1968, that was divided into two delegations: the Delegation to Australia and Papua New Guinea and the Delegation to New Zealand and Pacific Islands.[4] The Apostolic Nunciature to Australia was established by Pope Paul VI on 5 March 1973.[5] Charles Daniel Balvo was appointed nuncio in January 2022 by Pope Francis.[6]
