The Elizabeth O’Neill Journalism Award is co-funded by DFAT and the AII, and commemorates the distinguished career of Elizabeth O’Neill who died in service of DFAT in Indonesia on 7 March 2007. The Award builds on her tireless work to foster mutual understanding of Australia and Indonesia through accurate and informed media coverage.

The Elizabeth O'Neill Journalism Award involves one journalist from Indonesia and one from Australia each year, who spend up to three weeks in the other country for in-depth briefings and reporting. The Award is open to journalists from print, radio, television and online media organisations.
