Asialink welcomes the release of Security and Prosperity in Asia, the Parliamentary Inquiry's report into building Australia's Asia capability through the education system and beyond.

The Committee's findings echo the case Asialink made in our submission: that Australia needs a National Asia Capability Strategy focused on building Asia literacy and capability from the classroom to the boardroom, supported by a coordinated approach across government, business, education and institutions.

As Asialink CEO Rachel Thompson told the Inquiry, what gets measured gets valued. A clear picture of Australia's Asia capability today is fundamental to building what it looks like in the future.

Our thanks to Chair The Hon Tim Watts MP, committee members and all who took the time to make a submission and provide evidence to the Inquiry.

Congratulations to Sid Myer AO on this well deserved recognition!

The Myer Foundation was a founding partner of Asialink when it was established in 1989. Sid’s vision and leadership has shaped Asialink and our impact in the years since, in his roles as Chair of Asialink, inaugural Chair of Asialink Business and Patron.

Sid’s commitment to Australia’s engagement with Asia has opened doors and created opportunities for Australian artists and business leaders across the region for decades.

We look forward to continuing to work alongside Sid on our mission to create a better future with Asia!

Ever wondered what diplomacy and leadership look like when stakes are high in moments of crisis? Then this is a conversation you won't want to miss!

Join us for a special evening featuring Asialink CEO Rachel Thompson in conversation with Martine Letts - influential leader, experienced CEO and former Australian Diplomat.

Martine and Rachel will explore diplomacy and leadership when they matter most, from moments of crisis and high‑stakes negotiation to the long‑term work of building trust and strong relationships.

Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Martine will share her reflections on pivotal moments in her career, and Australia's history, including leading the Australian Red Cross through the Tampa crisis and the Bali bombings, and more.
