India is a dynamic global partner for Australia across education, research, science and technology.

India is a key strategic and economic partner for Australia. The relationship is underpinned by mutual understanding, trust, and a shared vision for a stable, open and prosperous Indo-Pacific. Both Australia and India benefit from the long-standing education partnerships and deep friendships between our people and institutions. Education provides a living bridge between our countries.

This strategy builds on this strong, bilateral relationship, and demonstrates Australia’s clear vision for the education partnership with India going forward. It draws views from across Australia’s education sector and government in identifying opportunities for collaboration.

The strategy presents ways to deliver mutual benefits through education, strengthen institutional and research partnerships, and enhance people-to-people links, mobility and employability.
