Over the past 40 years the Australian Government has established cultural councils to support the people-to-people links that underpin our key bilateral and regional relationships. Eminent Australian business and community leaders are appointed to the boards, providing a range of expertise and input into Australia's foreign policy and economic diplomacy goals.

All foundations, councils and institutes run grant rounds that support professional, community and institutional linkages between Australia and its partners on contemporary issues of shared interest including business, education, innovation, science, technology, the arts, media and sport.
