List of ambassadors of Australia to Jordan
The Australian Ambassador to Jordan is the Australian Government's foremost diplomatic representative in Jordan. The Ambassador resides in Amman.
Australia’s diplomatic relations with Jordan began when Pierre Hutton, then Ambassador to Lebanon, was accredited as non-resident Ambassador to Jordan on 29 April 1975. A Jordan post was opened in Amman in 1979 with D.B. Wadham named as Chargé d'Affaires while the then non-resident Ambassador, H.N. Truscott, remained in Lebanon. The first resident Ambassador was appointed in 1982, a move in part to ensure that Australia could be more fully informed about developments in the Middle East.
The current Ambassador to Jordan is Miles Armitage.Non-resident Ambassadors to Jordan
