Public Diplomacy Support for Events:
Public Diplomacy within the Australian High Commission can support New Zealand organisations with travel, accomodation and registration fees incurred by their collaboration with Australia.
Funding can only be used for an Australian individual or group to speak, perform, or attend a function in support of the following Australian High Commission objectives:
-
Promote bilateral partnerships, cultural exchange, and understanding, including between our First Nations People.
-
Demonstrate Australia’s contribution to Pacific and Indo-Pacific regions that are peaceful, stable, prosperous and resilient.
-
Encourage conversations about strategic and foreign policy issues.
You must provide a Public Diplomacy Application form, budget of costs and explanation on how your event will align with an objective above.
Funding applications will be open during the Australian Government financial year from 1 July 25 - 30 April 2026. Each application is considered carefully, and successful applicants will need to have spent the funding amount by 1 June the following year.
Applications received outside of this time frame may be considered, where funding is available.
TO APPLY: please complete the Public Diplomacy Application form and send it to [email protected].
