Asialink Business functions as the National Centre for Asia Capability, mandated by the Australian Government to develop an Asia-capable workforce in Australia. Based at the University of Melbourne in Victoria, it operates across the country to help organisations engage with Asia through capability-building programs, research and information, and public forums and events. Its work sits at the nexus of government policy and practical capacity building for Australian organisations. It positions itself in the civic and social sector as a national resource aimed at increasing Asia readiness among Australian organisations, rather than offering broad commercial consulting. The organisation is small to mid-sized and emphasises programs and knowledge sharing that support Australian firms and institutions in their Asia engagements. In November 2024, Asialink Business announced a partnership with Austrade to support Australian businesses' growth ambitions in Asia.
