International delegations - opportunities to connect with Council

Brisbane regularly welcomes visiting inbound international delegations and study visits consisting of government representatives, business people and academics to connect with Council. Council’s International Relations and Multicultural Affairs facilitates requests from visiting delegations to:

  • meet with Council representatives 
  • arrange programs
  • learn and exchange information on best practices through presentations, discussions, roundtable meetings, networking events and individual meetings.

Council charges a fee to arrange visits and presentations to international delegations.

The International Relations and Multicultural Affairs also receives requests for courtesy calls with Council’s elected representatives, primarily the Lord Mayor or his elected representative. Courtesy calls are brief introductory meetings with international visiting dignitaries, such as members of the diplomatic and consular corps, international Mayors, or similar.
