What is Mozzies
The Mongolia Australia Society is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation established in 1998.
The Society’s mission is to promote cooperation and friendship between Mongolia and Australia. This is achieved by strengthening the warm people-to-people and institutional links between the two countries.

- Celebrate the long-term friendship and cultural link with Australia through a diverse program of activities, such as events to commemorate Australia Day, the Melbourne Cup and the Australian Open
- Share news, information and resources with its members and the wider community through its website, newsletter and email updates
- Act as an ambassador for Australia in Mongolia and actively promote cooperation between the two countries, especially by maintaining a close relationship with Australian institutions
- Promote the various Australian scholarship options available to Mongolian students, and support applicants and returned students
