Australia-China Council
Our Relations
Since the establishment of the Council in 1978, it has helped to kick-start hundreds of successful business, education, scientific and cultural collaborations between Australia and China.
These collaborations help to forge enduring relations between Australian and Chinese organisations and people and help bring new participants into the Australia-China relationship.
These are just some of the great projects and initiatives that we have been proud to support.
