Northern Territory

The Northern Territory is not too far away from Indonesia so its large Indonesian community means there are plenty of opportunities to engage with Indonesian culture while still being in Australia. AIYA NT was founded in 2012 and has been a strong element in building a community of young people who are passionate about the Australia-Indonesia relationship. To engage with this group of semangat Australians and Indonesians stay up to date with the Chapter via their social media:
