Government Relations

AEI builds co-operative relationships offshore and develops policy on internationalising Australian education and training. This is achieved through support of the inter-departmental committee on internationalisation of education and training, and the implementation of its recommendations for DEEWR.

Developing relationships and managing cross-portfolio links, including the DEEWR International Forum (DIF), are also important parts of AEI’s work. AEI is also focused on establishing effective relationships outside of DEEWR.

  • Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are market-opening agreements that promote stronger trade and commercial ties between participating countries. FTAs create opportunities for Australian education exporters to expand into these markets.
  • AEI guides Australia’s bilateral education relationships, including monitoring policy developments and social and economic trends, and the ongoing review of formal agreements such as Memoranda of Understanding and Mutual Recognition Arrangements.
  • AEI supports Australia’s education and training participation in a range of international organisations.
