Public Diplomacy and Influence Branch (DIB)

The Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program (ACDGP) supports international projects that tell Australian stories, amplify First Nations voices, deepen bilateral partnerships, and build cultural understanding and connections overseas.

Australia is a successful global leader and innovator in sport. We are known as an active and healthy sporting nation, producing a broad range of athletes and sports administrators with integrity and character.

Over the past 40 years the Australian Government has established cultural councils to support the people-to-people links that underpin our key bilateral and regional relationships. Eminent Australian business and community leaders are appointed to the boards, providing a range of expertise and input into Australia's foreign policy and economic diplomacy goals.
