The Aussie Banget Roadshow Brings Australia to Indonesian Universities

Australia Awards in Indonesia recently teamed up with the Australian Embassy and the Consulate-General in Surabaya to deliver the Aussie Banget Roadshow at several Indonesian universities: Binus University (Jakarta), Institut Teknologi Bandung (West Java), Universitas Negeri Sebelas Maret (Central Java), Universitas Gadjah Mada (Yogyakarta), and Universitas Negeri Padang (West Sumatera).

During the events, the Australia Awards in Indonesia team provided valuable information about studying at Australian higher education institutions and highlighted the Australia Awards Scholarships and Short Courses through information sessions and interactive booths. Students also participated in an engaging Wheel of Fortune game, testing their knowledge of Australia for a chance to win special prizes.

A permanent feature at these universities, the Aussie Banget Corner (ABC) offers students access to Australian books, resources, and information about Australia and scholarship opportunities, including the Australia Awards Scholarships and Short Courses. This roadshow underscores the Embassy and Consulate-General’s ongoing commitment to promoting educational and cultural exchange between Australia and Indonesia.

We were delighted to meet and connect with all the students during this roadshow.
