AIYA Tasmania began in January 2013. Since then AIYA has become the premier Asia focused youth organisation in the state. Though geographically distant, the Tasmanian government has recognized the need for further engagement with Asia, signified by the release of the Tasmania in the Asian Century White Paper in March 2013.

At AIYA Tasmania, we believe that our state has plenty to gain during the upcoming Asian Century and we hope to contribute towards establishing ourselves as leaders in the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
