Today I announce the establishment of the Australian Government Global Watch Office to strengthen Australia's capacity to monitor and respond to emerging overseas events on a 24 hour basis.
Worth $8 million over four years, the Global Watch Office will be established within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and incorporate the existing Consular Emergency Centre which provides consular and passports services to individual Australians overseas.
