The Australia–Thailand Institute supports and initiates activities consistent with its goals, on the basis of a strategic plan and priorities set annually by the Advisory Board.
Wherever possible, the ATI seeks to expand people-to-people and institutional links through programs, partnerships with other organizations and seed funding of projects to enable them to grow.
The Institute seeks to target the next generation of leaders in both countries across a broad spectrum of backgrounds from the arts and business, cultural and community groups.
