About the Australia Indonesia Institute

The Australia-Indonesia Institute (AII) was established by the Australian Government in 1989 to contribute to a more broadly based and enduring relationship between Australia and Indonesia and to project positive images of Australia and Indonesia in each other's country.

The Institute's Mission is:

To develop relations between Australia and Indonesia by promoting greater mutual understanding and by contributing to the enlargement over the longer term of the areas of contact and exchange between the people of Australia and Indonesia.

The goals of the Institute are:

  • To promote in each country increased exposure to the other through media, educational, cultural, sporting and professional activities.
  • To create in Indonesia a nucleus of people with expertise in Australian affairs, especially current and future opinion leaders.
  • To create within Australia a wider range of people with knowledge about Indonesia, especially current and future opinion makers.
  • To portray Australia as culturally diverse, educationally, scientifically and technologically advanced and economically enterprising.
  • To increase understanding of and to improve access for Australians to the cultural diversity of Indonesian society.
