Australia Awards Global Alumni Tracer Survey 2026

ACER

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and Wallis Social Research are conducting the Australia Awards Global Alumni Tracer for 2026. This research is being conducted by the Australia Awards Global Support Mechanism (AAGSM) Global Research Unit (GRU) on behalf of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

The purpose of this survey is to collect information from Australia Awards alumni who completed their scholarship or fellowship within approximately the past 3 to 8 years.

The data collected in the Australia Awards Global Alumni Tracer Survey will be used to improve the way that the Australia Award is delivered.

When is the research being conducted?

The survey will be conducted between the 20th of October and the 4th of December 2026.
