The New Colombo Plan is a signature initiative of the Australian Government which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake Internships in the region.

In the 2019 round the New Colombo Plan Mobility Program’s strategic objectives are to:

• support more study experiences in as many Indo-Pacific locations as possible

• fund innovative Mobility Projects that facilitate increased student mobility to the region and new or strengthened partnerships between universities and other organisations

Successful Applicants (Funding Recipients) will be awarded funding to be used for Semester and short-term Mobility Projects in Host Locations.  

Mobility Projects can include one or more of the following: 

• study

• in-country language study

• clinical placements or practicums

• Internships and Mentorships

• research.

Funding is provided to Australian Universities to support Mobility Projects that best represent value with public money in line with the New Colombo Plan strategic objectives. 

Applications for funding will be accepted from all Australian Universities (defined as a higher education provider under the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 in a provider category that permits the use of the word “university”) and consortia of Australian Universities.

Applications must be lodged in ISEO (International Student Exchange Online) by 11.30 PM AEST, 18 May 2018.
