Authorities are investigating after suspicious packages were found by several foreign consulates in Melbourne.

Footage shows emergency services workers converging on the consulates across the city.

More than a dozen hazardous material alerts have been issued on the VicEmergency website.

Manuela Erb, the honorary consul of the Consulate of Switzerland in Melbourne, told the ABC that they had received a suspicious package at their Ashwood address.

“It’s believed to be non-hazardous, however they’re treating it as a hazardous,” she said.

More to come.
