About AusAID

Objectives

To advance Australia's national interest by assisting developing countries to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development.

AusAID serves the Government by advising on development issues and delivering Australia's development cooperation program with excellence.

AusAID will:

  • provide professional policy advice and support to the Minister and Parliamentary Secretary on development issues
  • develop and manage effective and innovative poverty reduction programs in partnership with developing countries, Australian businesses, non-government organisations and international agencies
  • be a creative, effective organisation which provides a rewarding workplace with high levels of staff commitment and satisfaction
  • be an open, accessible organisation which promotes Australia's aid program and approach to international development issues to key stakeholders, including the Australian community.

Global Development Group is a member of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct, which provides standards on management, communication with the public and, most importantly, how funds are spent.
