Australia's ambassador to Indonesia is returning for consultations following the executions of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan.

Paul Grigson was leaving Jakarta on Sunday night for talks in Perth regarding Indonesia's execution of the two drug smugglers in defiance of international pressure.

The bodies of Chan and Sukumaran were returned home on Saturday, three days after they were shot by a firing squad.

As their bereaved families turn their focus to organising the funerals, Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has already said Australia will "seek to move on" with its neighbour.

Indonesia, too, has struck a conciliatory tone, with its ambassador to Australia issuing a statement on the day after the executions expressing sympathy to the Chan and Sukumaran families.

Vice President Jusuf Kalla has dismissed the ambassador's recall as a usual protest, predicting Mr Grigson will be back in Jakarta within months.

Meanwhile the Australian Federal Police will front the media on Monday over their part in the investigation that led to the drug smuggling arrests of nine Australians including Chan and Sukumaran in Indonesia a decade ago.

AFP Commissioner Andrew Colvin will discuss the AFP's guidelines in relation to death penalty matters in 2005 and their procedures now.

The federal government has insisted police are still taking the death penalty into account before tipping off foreign agencies about suspected Australian criminals, in line with guidelines Labor issued in 2009.
