The Britain-Australia Society Education Trust

BASET (The Britain-Australia Society Education Trust) provides talented young people with a life changing opportunity to develop new skills, broaden their horizons and realise their potential.

Over the last decade, we have developed a range of educational travel awards which transform the lives of young people from Britain and Australia and facilitate an exchange of knowledge and expertise between our two countries, built on our shared heritage, common values and closely aligned strategic interests.

Since we launched our first awards, funding a small number of secondary school students, our work has grown and developed substantially. Now, together with education providers and corporate partners, we support an increasing number of school students each year and have also developed a variety of career development opportunities for young adults from Master’s degrees in heritage conservation to hands-on placements for young viticulture and equestrian students.
