The Australian Institute of International Affairs is an independent, non-profit organization, which promotes an interest in and understanding of international affairs.

It achieves this both by serving as a think-tank, and through branch activities. As a think-tank it looks to the wider community and decision-makers, producing research publications, maintaining a web-site, and holding seminars. Branches conduct programs of regular meetings for members.

While the Institute provides a forum for discussion and debate, it does not seek to take institutional positions on particular issues or to promote views of its own. Rather it seeks to bring to the attention of the community international issues relevant to Australia, and illuminate them with professional and expert understanding.

The Foreign Minister has described the Institute as 'the pre-eminent non-government institution dealing with all aspects of Australia's foreign relations'.

The Institute was established at the national level in 1933. Its National Office is Stephen House, Deakin, ACT. There are Branches in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth and Hobart.

The Institute publishes the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Established in 1946 (as Australian Outlook). It is Australia's leading professional journal dealing with international issues. It also publishes the book series Australia in World Affairs which provides an historical overview of Australia's foreign policy.
