FASIC supports engagement and educational activities to deepen understanding between the peoples of Australia and China.
FASIC is an apolitical not-for-profit organisation that operates on the principles of Respect, Trust, Inclusion and Excellence.
We respect the differences in people of diverse backgrounds and we support an inclusive social environment. We act with integrity and authenticity. We strive for excellence to build trust and to expand opportunities between the peoples of Australia and China.
With the support from the National Foundation of Australia China Relations and private sector donors, we manage programs and activities that enhance the mutual understanding and engagement between the peoples of Australia and China.
We enhance the understanding of Australia in China through the provision of grants and other initiatives with the 37 Australian Studies Centres in China operated by Chinese universities.
We provide funding for scholarships and educational, and professional exchanges between Australia and China as well as funding to support a Chair of Australian Studies.
