Australia is a partner government of the Forum of Federations.

The Forum's work in Australia is currently focused on a health conference with the support of the states and commonwealth governments in Australia, and in partnership with the Menzies Centre for Health Policy.

In addition, Australia is tentatively scheduled to host a country roundtable for Global Dialogue Theme 7 on 'Unity and Diversity in Federal Countries'.

Such events will include roundtable discussions of Indian policy-makers, with the participation of one or two international experts on federalism subjects.

Since 2002, the Forum of Federations and the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) have worked in Sri Lanka. Activities have focused on raising awareness about the options and possibilities for power-sharing, including federalism, with the aim of facilitating a permanent settlement of conflict.

The Forum and CPA are currently working on a project aimed at both civil society and policymakers, in order continue discussions about power sharing as well as to provide access to comparative expertise which might inform any future Sri Lankan constitutional process.
