AusInd Bridge Foundation, a not-for-profit community think and do tank, headquartered in Melbourne, is a visionary initiative aimed at fostering profound people-to-people connections to enhance the Australia-India relationship across various sectors of bilateral, regional, and global significance. Our mission is to deepen these ties through several unique initiatives like Parliament Connect Programme (PCP), Industry Connect Programme (ICP), Community Connect Programme (CCP) and above all the University Connect Programme (UCP).
Launched by the South Asian Community Link Group Australasia (SACLG), AusInd Bridge is backed by influential Members of Parliament and leaders in academia, business, and policy from both nations. This support underscores our commitment to crafting a collaborative future, fostering mutual understanding and opportunities that bridge distances and differences between Australia and India.
About Logo
The logo represents the best of the cultural icons of both Australia and India. Both maps have been brought together purposefully and shown on the globe. The Mother Kangaroo and its cub in the pouch, the Mother Elephant with its baby represent the wildlife and biodiversity. They symbolically also reflect the need of the next generation and as an organisation AusInd Bridge Foundation is committed to align its work with Sustainable Development Goals.
