DFAT released internal guidance memos directing Australian diplomatic missions overseas on the display of ministerial portraits. A June 2022 directive instructed all posts to display portraits of five DFAT portfolio ministers (Foreign Affairs, Trade and Tourism, International Development and the Pacific, and two Assistant Ministers) alongside those of the Prime Minister and Governor-General in public areas of missions, unless impractical. A follow-up memo a week later clarified that high-resolution portraits of all five ministers had been uploaded to the DFAT intranet and specified they should be printed in black and white, with accurate ministerial titles matching those on the DFAT website. The guidance established a prescribed order for displaying the ministers' portraits and required posts to review existing captions for accuracy.
