In 2008, the Australian Institute of International Affairs launched a Fellows program to recognise exceptional contributions to Australia’s international relations.

The overriding criterion for selection is a person with a strong connection to Australia who has achieved a very high level of distinction in, and made a distinguished contribution to, international affairs. Nominations received are assessed in confidence by a selection committee made up of members of AIIA’s National Executive and, once appointed, existing Fellows.
