The International Media Centre
The International Media Centre (IMC) is part of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The IMC was established in 1995 to assist resident and foreign media with background information, briefings, advice and logistics to allow them to report accurately and comprehensively on Australian issues. The IMC is also able to provide foreign correspondents and visiting overseas media with story ideas, and contacts across a wide range of matters as well as facilitating access to government, business, academia and cultural organisations. The IMC works closely with the Foreign Correspondents' Association (Australia and South Pacific).
Foreign journalists visiting Sydney are also welcome to contact the IMC and make use of the various facilities offered such as high speed internet/e-mail access in a central location in the city (please call or email to make an appointment).
The IMC also manages an International Media Visits program which arranges targeted working visits by senior international journalists and commentators. These visits provide opportunities for foreign media to report on topics such as Australia's innovation and scientific achievements, Australia's strengths as an international investment destination, Australia's agricultural trade liberalisation policy particularly the WTO and Australia's strong levels of engagement with the Asia-Pacific region.
