Australia and Serbia maintain diplomatic relations established between Australia and SFR Yugoslavia in 1966.[1][2][3] Australia has an embassy in Belgrade. Serbia has an embassy in Canberra and a general consulate in Sydney. The European office of the Australian Federal Police is located in Belgrade since 2003.[4]

Trade between two countries amounted to $62 million in 2022; Australian merchandise export to Serbia were about $31 million, consisting primarily of toys, games and sporting goods; Serbian exports were about the same, standing at $31 million, consisting mainly of preserved food products.[5]

The Australian government took over all the bilateral treaties and agreements signed with the former Yugoslavia in its relations with Serbia, with reserve of cessation of certain contracts if they are considered to be surpassed. There are nine agreements in force, among which the most important are Trade Agreement, Agreement of residence and employment of Serbian citizens in Australia and the Agreement on cultural cooperation.[6][7][8][9] Cultural and education relations are based on the 1976 Agreement on cultural and scientific cooperation.[10]

There have been no visits of heads of state or government between two countries in recent years. The delegation led by MPs Roger Price and Danna Vale and Senator Judith Troeth visited Serbia in 2008 while the delegation led by the President of the National Assembly of Serbia Slavica Đukić Dejanović visited Australia in 2009.[11][12]

In the 2006 Australian Census, 95,364 people identified themselves as having Serbian origin.
