The Australian Consul-General in Bali, Ms. Jo Stevens, hosted a networking event with local media representatives in Bali at the Australian Consulate-General office in Denpasar.
In her remarks, Consul-General Stevens expressed her gratitude for the cooperation of the Bali media and the extensive media coverage of the activities conducted by the Australian Consulate-General in Bali over the years.
“Our work focuses on deepening our relationship with the government and people of Bali through educational, business, and cultural partnerships, as well as through our Direct Aid Program. Your reporting enables the public to better understand the close partnership between Indonesia and Australia and helps strengthen the people-to-people ties between our communities,” said Consul-General Jo Stevens.
The Australian Consulate-General in Bali has various programs in Bali and has been active in the community this year, organizing major events to commemorate International Women’s Day in March 2026, a media workshop in May, and a significant beach clean-up activity in Nusa Penida in June. Other activities included an Australian Football workshop at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Denpasar, extensive engagement with universities, including the ‘Aussie Banget’ Roadshow at Udayana University, and a visit to North Bali to meet with business actors, government officials, and the alumni community. The Consulate-General also regularly collaborates with the Bali Provincial Government, the business community, NGOs, and the education sector to deepen cooperation.
The media networking event was attended by various media outlets from across Bali, who enjoyed a nasi tumpeng lunch. The Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Bureau of Bali Province was also in attendance.
