Supporting and promoting the study of Indonesia in Australian higher education.
The Indonesia Council is the professional association for teachers and researchers of Indonesia in Australia.
Established in 2000, the Indonesia Council promotes and supports the study of Indonesia within higher education.
Our membership is drawn mainly from academics and students, but also includes industry and government.
We work across multiple professions, fields of expertise and disciplinary knowledge, including the language and the humanities, social and physical sciences, but also education policy, development and foreign affairs.
What draws our membership together is a common interest in Indonesia and a commitment to promoting the value of that knowledge through education and research in Australia and Indonesian institutions and beyond. Membership is free but we encourage our members to join our parent association the Asian Studies Assocation of Australia
We also hold a biennial conference, which presents cutting edge research on the study of Indonesia. The conference is free and open as widely as possible to participants.
