History
editBoth countries established relations on March 1, 1963, and have maintained them since.[2] The ambassador of Peru to Australia was also accredited to New Zealand until an embassy was opened in Wellington, which closed in 2010 but reopened in 2019.[3] The Australian Government first announced it would open an embassy in Lima in 1968,[4] which closed between 1986 and 2010[5] as a result of the 1986 Australian Government Budget.[6]
In 2006, Peruvian Australians were numbered at 5,500 people, as well as their families.[1] According to a census carried in 2016 by Department of Home Affairs, 9,556 Australians were born in Peru, while 11,139 claimed Peruvian ancestry.[7]
