General Information NotesAustralian Development Scholarships (ADS) provide opportunities for Indonesians to study in Australia at POSTGRADUATE level.

Up to four hundred and seventy five scholarships are expected to be awarded in 2013 for commencement in 2013/2014 including twenty five Australian Leadership Award Scholarships (ALAS). Candidates must undertake study in one of the four areas of development priority (see page 3).

ADS are offered in two main categories: ‘Public Sector Category’ and ‘Open Category’.

Public sector applicants are employees from Government organizations, state universities and state owned enterprises. Their applications must be approved by training or foreign cooperation bureaus (BKLN) of their local or central agencies before being submitted to the ADS Program Office. Public sector candidates from government agencies outside Jakarta may apply directly to the ADS Program Office with the approval of their relevant Kakanwil or Kadinas and approval from Bupati or Governor (or representative) where necessary. Calon Pegawai Negeri Sipil are not eligible to apply.

Open Category applicants are from private organisations and universities and this category is also open to recent university graduates. No prior Government approval is required for people applying in the Open Category, and applications are to be submitted directly to the Australia Awards Office. They require, where relevant, the endorsement of the agency, institution or private university in which the applicant is working or studying. Applications are submitted directly to the Australia Awards Office.

Public servants (Pegawai Negeri) cannot apply in the Open category.

A third category (Targeted) exists for candidates who are identified by their organisations in consultation with the ADS Program. Candidates within this category must be identified by their home organization and must not apply to the ADS Program independently of their employer.

`Targeted Category' candidates are employed by organisations which are identified by the Government of Indonesia and Government of Australia (through AusAID) as being strategically aligned with the Development priorities of the Government of Indonesia.

Scholarships are for full-time study for a Masters or Doctorate degree from Australian tertiary institutions. The scholarship provides up to nine months full-time language and academic preparation in Indonesia. Students must achieve satisfactory results in this training to be able to continue their scholarships.

Applications from people with disabilities or from people in organisations working with the disabled are encouraged to apply.

To assess the likely support needs, appropriate assistance, and the capacity of relevant institutions to provide the assistance, awardees with a disability/special need must provide details of the disability and/or special need when they accept their offer. This information is bound by Australian privacy laws and will be disclosed only for the purpose of facilitating an accessible barrier-free learning environment.Modifications to physical or learning environments, including additional educational supports such as sign interpreters and captioning, may be available depending on the relevant Institution's capacity. AusAID will advise the Institution of any special requirements associated with an Awardee so that the Institution can pass these details to the Institution’s Disability Liaison Officer prior to the Awardee arriving on-campus. Where an Institution is not able to provide the assistance requested, other Institutions may be recommended.

Do you identify as having a disability or do you work in a disability-focused organisation?**Under Australian law, disability includes physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, neurological, learning disabilities, physical disfigurement, and the presence in the body of disease-causing organisms (http://www.hreoc.gov.au/disability_rights/dda_guide/who/who.html)
