Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade – Australia Awards and the New Colombo Plan

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is the lead agency managing Australia’s international presence. Its role is to help make Australia stronger, safer and more prosperous by promoting and protecting our interests internationally and contributing to global stability and economic growth.

Australia Awards scholarships and fellowships managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade contribute to the achievement of development objectives across a range of sectors and are a feature of nearly all of Australia’s bilateral aid programs.

The New Colombo Plan is a signature initiative of the Australian Government designed to lift Australians’ knowledge of the Indo-Pacific region in which we live. It supports Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in Indo-Pacific countries and further develop their knowledge and understanding of our region and its people.
 

Education Partners

Australia’s education sector plays an important role.

Our world-class educational institutions build lifelong connections with current and former students in Australia and overseas, and connect alumni to Australia’s research and business communities. In partnership with our education partners, we will increase the international visibility of Australia’s educational and research expertise.

We continue to work with the education sector to establish strong collaborative practices between the institutions and our post network.
