The Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) was established by the Australian Government in 1992 to promote bilateral relations between Korea and Australia.

The objectives of AKF are to:

  • increase public awareness of Australia in Korea and of Korea in Australia
  • develop partnerships in areas of shared interest in the bilateral, regional and global context
