The Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA Inc.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and understanding of international affairs in Australia. The WA Branch of the AIIA was founded in 1947 by Professor Fred Alexander of the University of WA, who became its first President. Like the earlier established branches in the other Australian states, the WA Branch was modelled on the British Royal Institute of International Affairs, based at Chatham House in London. The WA Branch has maintained a steady membership, including many prominent West Australian and national leaders. Successive State Governors have served as the Branch’s Official Visitor. The aim of the institute is to be an independent and non-political body that facilitates and encourages the study and debate of international questions. We are a membership based organisation and we rely on a team of dedicated volunteers to run our WA operations.
