On this page, you'll find a growing collection of organisations, networks
and communities active in the Australia-Indonesia space.
These are groups I've come across through my travels, conversations and
time in this space, so most of them are Western Australia centric. They
tend to be focussed on connections and learning beyond the commercial space.
We're all doing thoughtful, valuable work but can be hard to discover in
one place. I've put together this page to make it easier for us to find
each other, connect, and strengthen ties.
If I've worked with an organisation or have insight into how they operate,
I'm very happy to share my experience or help make an introduction where
that's helpful - true people-to-people connections are both delightful and
get things moving from the heart.
If you'd like your organisation or group included here (I'd love to have it
be more comprehensive) - start a conversation with me.
