Australia China Alumni Association Information

The Australia China Alumni Association (ACAA) is dedicated to building life-long connections with Australia. ACAA was established in 2007 with the support of the Australian Ambassador to China and now it has more than 27,000 Australian universities and TAFE alumni members across greater China and Australia. The Australian Ambassador to China is the Patron of ACAA. ACAA is the largest people to people organisation in the Australia China space, and the most important representative of alumni/ae who have graduated from Australian universities and TAFE colleges. ACAA is open to and serves all alumni who have come from China to study in Australia. Most of our members are based in China but we also have a growing membership base in Australia. ACAA provides a variety of services, programs and events, including its annual flagship Australia China Alumni Awards that recognise outstanding alumni/ae, its several Australian interest Communities for Alumni Award finalists, Young Entrepreneurs, Australian Literature and Translation, Australian History, and Sports. ACAA also holds social and mentoring events, sometimes in partnership with like-minded organisation. As a not-for-profit and independent organisation, ACAA is primarily funded by private foundation grants and Government and corporate sponsors, with its workload shared by ACAA volunteers. ACAA is run by a volunteer Executive Committee of experienced China hands. ACAA greatly appreciates the ongoing support provided by its partner universities, and by the Australian Embassy and Consulates in China. ACAA has active volunteer communities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Hong Kong, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney.
