Diplomatic relations were established in 1954 — both countries celebrated 70 years of partnership in 2024. Austria maintains honorary consulates in Bandung (West Java), Surabaya (East Java), and Yogyakarta (Central Java), reflecting the breadth of Austrian engagement across the Indonesian archipelago.

Bali remains the most popular Indonesian destination for Austrian tourists, with increasing interest in Java's cultural heritage sites including Borobudur and Prambanan.
