PARTNERS AND SPONSORS
NT Government
The Northern Territory’s population is the nation’s youngest, at a median age of just 31.3 years, but also the smallest with just over 235 000 people living and working in this vast expanse of land. The population includes a diversity of more than 100 nationalities who share their cultures.
Due to the Northern Territory’s proximity to Asia, Asian influences are very predominant. Darwin is closer to Asia than to any of Australia’s major capital cities. Due to this proximity, the Northern Territory has developed strong diplomatic, cultural and economic ties with South-East Asia. Successive governments have capitalised on trading benefits by promoting the Northern Territory as Australia’s ‘Gateway to Asia’.
Indigenous people represent a quarter of the population and have a strong influence on the region’s culture. The Northern Territory’s vibrant economic growth and a raft of multi-million and multi-billion dollar developments position the region as one of Australia’s fastest-growing.

Previously known as the AIYA - East Nusa Tenggara Chapter from 2014-2017, this newest AIYA chapter has recently expanded to cover the broader Easter Indonesia area, meaning that AIYA has a presence in both Kupang, West Timor and Makassar, South Sulawesi.

AIYA hopes that this expansion will provide Eastern Indonesians and Australians with a stronger platform to engage with one another in the future. AIYA hopes to build a strong network of students, volunteers and young professionals who can encourage, learn from and support one another to become the next generation of leaders in the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
