. 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 David 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, since January 2021, is Bernard Lynch.
