The Indonesia Institute is a Western Australian-based NGO (Non-Government Organisation) that was founded in November 2010 by Ross B. Taylor AM, a former WA Commissioner to Indonesia and past National Vice President of the Australia-Indonesia Business Council.

Our mission and objectives are listed under ‘Our Objectives’ and we are active in promoting Indonesia-Australia relations both in our home state, throughout Australia and in Indonesia.

We have strong and extensive linkages with like-minded organisations in Indonesia and also work closely with other Indonesia-Australia organisations such as the Australia Indonesia Business Council (AIBC) a Australia-Indonesia Youth Association (AIYA) and the Indonesian Consul-General in Perth, WA.

The Australia-Indonesia Institute (AII) was established by the Australian Government in 1989 to contribute to a more broadly based and enduring relationship between Australia and Indonesia and to project positive images of Australia and Indonesia in each other's country. The AII supports initiatives that strengthen people-to-people links and encourage deeper mutual understanding and cooperation between both countries.
