The COVID-19 Development Response Plan for ASEAN and Southeast Asia has been extended through 2022-23.

In 2022-23 we will deepen our engagement in Southeast Asia by committing an additional $470 million in Official Development Assistance (ODA) over the forward estimates and establish an Office of Southeast Asia to coordinate our engagement with this dynamic region. The ASEAN and Southeast Asia regional program will continue to prioritise the implementation of the ASEAN-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) to promote regional integration and address complex challenges.
