**About the Program**
The New Colombo Plan (NCP) is a signature initiative of the Australian Government which aims to lift knowledge of the Indo-Pacific in Australia by supporting Australian undergraduates to study and undertake internships in the region. Students undertake Scholarship programs, participate in Mobility projects, and on completion join an Alumni program. The strategic objective of the NCP is to strengthen Australia’s regional standing by building a diverse cohort of Australian alumni with deeper Indo-Pacific knowledge, capability, and connections, contributing to the development of enduring people-to-people and institutional links, as part of the Australian Government’s public and economic diplomacy.
Palladium is contracted by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to manage the NCP Managed Administration and Support Services program (the MASS program) which underpins the effective operation of the Scholarship, Mobility and Alumni programs of NCP, and provides the cross-cutting functions of Finance and Funds Management, Communications, Business Engagement, Risk Management, and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. MASS provides these support services on behalf of the DFAT New Colombo Plan Secretariat (NCS) who oversees the program, manages performance and contract delivery and lead on all NCP strategy, policy, and key stakeholder relationships.
