Australia Indonesia Youth Exchange Program

[1] The program sees young Indonesian and Australian participants aged between 21 and 25 undertake professional development activities in their respective countries.

The program starts with the Indonesian participants arriving in Australia to undertake an internship in a rural, regional, or remote area in Australia (including Canberra) for one month followed undertaking a different internship at a major Australian city, usually within the same state or territory, for another month.

After two months, they meet their 18 Australian counterparts where they travel together to Indonesia to undertake a similar experience in an Indonesian province as a group of thirty-six.

The rural phase in Indonesia formerly involved a community development project conducted in teams of both Australian and Indonesian delegates.

The urban phase is held in the biggest city of the chosen Indonesian province, where delegates complete a professional work-place internship.
