The Awards seeks to develop leadership potential and stimulate lasting change by empowering a global network of talented individuals through high-quality education experiences in Australia and overseas. They are awarded each year to citizens of participating countries from Asia, the Pacific, Latin America, the Caribbean, Middle East and Africa.

Recipients return home with new ideas and knowledge, and the ability to make a significant contribution to their home countries as leaders in their field. The Awards also demonstrate Australia’s commitment to providing educational opportunities, improve living standards, and stimulate economic growth in developing countries.
