I have received a date for my interview at the US Consulate in Sydney, Australia - wonderful. But I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask before the interview (things I'm not clear on from their instructions) but I can't find a phone number anywhere for the Consulate. Is there any way to contact the Consulate before the interview?

Only by email, and they can be slow to respond. The email is sydneyIV@state.gov

You might be better off asking your questions here in the forum

Congratulation on your interview!
