The Australia China Alumni Association (ACAA) is a not-for-profit umbrella association operating across China to help link Alumni of Australian Universities with their Universities and each other. The ACAA is open to all alumni of Australian Universities who are living in China. This includes graduates of offshore programs taught through partner institutions in China, as well as those who have spent at least 12 months studying at an Australian University in Australia. The ACAA hosts regular social and networking events in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, maintains a bi-lingual website and database, publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, and runs the annual Australia China Alumni Awards.
