The Australia-India Council (AIC)

The AIC Application form will be available in June when the funding round is open.

The Australia-India Council (AIC) was established on 21 May 1992, in response to a recommendation by the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade, following an inquiry into Australia's relations with India.

The Council's purpose is to broaden the relationship between Australia and India by encouraging and supporting contacts and increasing levels of knowledge and understanding between the peoples and institutions of the two countries. The Council initiates or supports a range of activities designed to promote a greater awareness of Australia in India and a greater awareness of India in Australia, including visits and exchanges between the two countries, development of institutional links, and support of studies in each country of the other. The Council offers support, in the form of funding, for projects likely to contribute to the development of the relationship, within the context of AIC objectives and guidelines.

Applicants should read the general information available on the Australia-India Council website  prior to lodging their application.

Do not submit the online application until you are completely satisfied with it. Applications may be saved and worked on up until the closing date. Once applications have been submitted they are no longer accessible for editing.
