Alumni
Be Inspired
Australia Awards alumni are empowered by the world-class education they’ve achieved, and through the networks and relationships they have developed in Australia.
Highly talented and globally mobile, Australia’s global alumni are current and future leaders, influencers and change-agents in their country, for the Indo-Pacific region and for the world. They are involved in some of the most pressing global issues including climate change, conservation, cyber-security, world food shortages, bridging the gender gap, and alleviating poverty. Individually and collectively, they are helping to positively steer and shape the world around us.
Be inspired by our current and future generation of global leaders!
