The Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) was established by the Australian Government in 1992 to promote bilateral relations between Korea and Australia.
The objectives of AKF are to:
increase public awareness of Australia in Korea and of Korea in Australia, develop partnerships in areas of shared interest in the bilateral, regional and global context, and increase Australians' capacity to effectively engage with Korea.
The AKF offers annual grant funding to organisations and individuals to support projects or activities which advance Australia's engagement with Korea, including exchanges, partnerships and other collaborations in the general fields of business, education, academia, arts/culture and society.
