The Korea-Australia Future Forum (KAFF) is an annual flagship 1.5 track dialogue, co-hosted by the Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) and the Korea Foundation (KF). The KAFF covers the three pillars of the Australia - Republic of Korea (ROK) Comprehensive Strategic Partnership:
- Strategic and Security Cooperation
- Economic, Innovation and Technology Cooperation
- Enhancing People-to-People Links.
The KAFF brings together Australian and Korean senior representatives from government, academia and industry to engage in dialogue on key areas of future bilateral cooperation.
Its location alternates between Australia and the ROK. The fifth and most recent KAFF was held in Seoul on 15 July 2026.
The inaugural KAFF was held in Seoul in 2022, and was previously held in Canberra in 2023, in Seoul in 2024 and in Sydney in 2025.
Korea Australia Future Youth Forum
The Korea-Australia Youth Forum, a recommendation from the second KAFF in 2023, brings together Australian and Korean young professionals and university students to consider youth perspectives on the future of the Australia-ROK relationship. Mirroring the KAFF's lead, discussion at the Youth Forum also spans the full breadth of the Australia-ROK Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Youth Forum delegates also take part in the main KAFF discussion.
The third and most recent Youth Forum was held alongside the fifth KAFF in Seoul in July 2026.
The inaugural Korea-Australia Youth Forum occurred alongside the third KAFF in Seoul in 2024 and the second took place alongside the fourth KAFF in Sydney in August 2025.
