All about RUSI Australia

Aim

The aim of the Institute is to promote informed debate and to improve public awareness and understanding of defence and national security.
The RUSI seeks to promote informed and balanced debate on strategic and national security matters by providing forums for discussion throughout Australia. It is a non-political organisation and does not take a position or view on these matters.

The RUSI fulfils its aim by:

• Convening major international seminars when appropriate, either stand-alone or in conjunction with like-minded entities;
• Conducting regular lectures and seminars in State and Territory capital cities throughout Australia; and in some regional centres throughout the year;
• Publishing regularly transcripts of presentations given to all RUSI of Australia chapters by expert speakers on vital international and national security and defence issues;
• Maintaining libraries devoted to strategic and defence issues, both historical and contemporary;
• Circulating information bulletins and circulars containing details of forthcoming meetings, presentations and other events of note to all members of relevant RUSI chapters; and
• Hosting social events, usually featuring a key speaker, to enable members and their guests to discuss and debate in convivial company.
