The Australian High Commissioner to Barbados, is the Australian government's foremost diplomatic representative in Barbados. The Australian Government established a High Commission in Bridgetown in 1994 and appointed its first resident High Commissioner, Bob Whitty. Previously, responsibility for Australian diplomatic representation in Barbados was held in Canada (1974) and then Jamaica (1975-1994). It is now held by the Australian High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago. The decision to move Australian Government representation from Barbados to Trinidad and Tobago was part of a review of Australia's diplomatic network completed in July 2003.
