The American Australian Association was established in New York City in 1948 to promote cooperation and understanding between the United States and Australia. For over 60 years, it has provided an important forum for exchange between political and business leaders across the United States and Australia.
Headquartered in New York, the Association also has operations in New England and California, and is affiliated with the American Australian Association Ltd. in Sydney.
The Association’s gala event, the Annual Benefit Dinner, raises proceeds for the Education Fund, which supports post-graduate study and research between Australia and the United States. The Fund is the largest source of privately funded educational Fellowships between the two countries. Since its launch in 2002, the Education Fund has granted awards to more than 250 Fellows, totaling over $6 million.
The Association has a long and impressive history of serving the relationship between the United States and Australia and our corporate membership includes many of the most prominent commercial and financial institutions engaged in business between the United States and Australia.
