Leaders of the two countries agree to 'full restoration of defence cooperation' and commit to free trade.
Indonesia and Australia have restored full military relations, weeks after Jakarta suspended cooperation because of "insulting" teaching material found at an Australian army centre.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull made the announcement on Sunday alongside Indonesian President Joko Widodo, who arrived in Australia on Saturday for his first visit as president.
"President Widodo and I have agreed to full restoration of defence cooperation, training exchanges and activities," Turnbull told reporters in Sydney.
Military cooperation between the two countries has ranged from joint training and counterterrorism cooperation to border protection.
It was suspended in January after an Indonesian officer saw references which he deemed derogatory to Indonesia's state ideology Pancasila in training materials used at a special forces base in the west Australian city of Perth.
