causindy is back!
CAUSINDY, originally the Conference of Australian and Indonesian Youth, is a bilateral youth organisation which provides a platform for young leaders to create a stronger bilateral relationship. CAUSINDY is led by a volunteer team spread across both Australia and Indonesia.
Our flagship event is the Annual Conference of Australian and Indonesian Youth, a four-day program which brings together young leaders from Australia and Indonesia. Past delegates have included emerging leaders from a range of fields, from sitting members of parliament to leaders in business, academia, and social enterprise.
CAUSINDY also coordinates an extensive network of alumni, provides seed funding to successful CAUSINDY Review community projects, and provides resources for school and university teachers to highlight opportunities in both countries.

CAUSINDY provided me not only with a network and friendships, but also the leadership skills and confidence that I needed to be a better and more effective leader in my organisation.
Participating in CAUSINDY gave me a sense of legitimacy – I felt accepted among a community of like-minded people. Without CAUSINDY, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to build those connections.
CAUSINDY gave me a really important platform to advocate for the issues that I felt were important in the bilateral relationship.
I got to make a difference in the bilateral relationship, hopefully being able to improve understanding of Australia and vice versa.
