See assistance you can get if you have a hearing or speech impairment or need an interpreter.
Our call centre can arrange an appointment for you to lodge your passport or renewal application at an Australian passport office if:

If your travel is not urgent, you may lodge your passport application at an accredited Australia Post outlet. Visit auspost.com.au or call Australia Post on 137 678 to find the nearest outlet that will accept your application.
For urgent passport enquiries outside of business hours, emergency consular assistance can be provided by our Consular Emergency Centre (CEC).
