cooperation program for that country. Under ASTAS, short-term specialist
training and programs of practical experience, involving attachments to
industry and government departments, or visits by senior officials to
organizations relevant to their professions are also available.

varies from country to country and you should make inquiries in your country

its own system for deciding who should be nominated.
Fields of Study:
Number of awardees and fields of study are agreed annually in negotiations
between the Australian government and recipient governments.

for study:
Each country has a nominating authority, which receives requests for scholarships.

be nominated. Nomination papers of successful applicants are passed to
the Australian diplomatic mission which, after checking, passes the papers
to an AIDAB regional office in Australia for placement in a preparatory
program where needed to enhance the English Language and other skills
of awardees.
