Embassy of Estonia, Canberra

Australia first recognized Estonia on September 22, 1921, after Estonia's acceptance into the League of Nations. From 1919 to 1935, Estonia's interests in Australia were represented by the Finnish Consulate (in 1922 Harold Tanner, a Finn, was named Deputy Honorary Consul in Sydney).^{[citation needed]} In 1935 Estonia appointed its own honorary consul. The work of the consulate was interrupted in 1940 and its records were given to the Swedish Consulate for storage (today they have been returned to Estonia).^{[citation needed]}

Australia was among the first countries to re-recognize Estonia's independence on August 27, 1991, while diplomatic relations were restored on November 21, 1991.^[2]

The first Ambassador of Estonia to Australia, Peeter Miller, was accredited from Tokyo (Japan) in 2007.^[3] In 2010 the accreditation was transferred to Tallinn.^[4]
