Millennium goals

AusAID is the Australian Agency for International Development, a government agency which manages Australia's overseas aid program. The program started in 1946 with aid to Papua New Guinea, but it wasn't until 1974 that the roles of various departments were brought together into one agency.

These are the windows of the head office of AusAID, on London Circuit in Civic. The bright coloured icons represent the Millennium Development Goals - agreed targets set by the world's nations to reduce poverty by 2015 - which underpin Australia's aid program.
