Consular officials are assisting the family of an Australian man found dead in an apartment in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.

The 37-year-old man, from NSW, was reportedly discovered by his maid on Monday.

A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokeswoman confirmed the death, and said consular assistance was being provided to the man's partner and family in both Australia and Indonesia.

South Jakarta Police have named the man as World Bank consultant Jock McKeon, according to an ABC Online report.

The local police chief was reported as saying there were no signs of violence and an autopsy would be conducted.

The DFAT spokeswoman said she could not confirm the man's name at this time or the circumstances surrounding his death.
