WELCOME
The Australian Asian Association was established in 1956 by a group of interested people with a vision – a vision that such an Association would have countless opportunities to exercise fruitfully and usefully – goodwill with our nearest neighbours. The Association was incorporated in 1962.

The Australian Asian Association has the wide objective of promoting understanding between the people of Australia and the other countries of the world. A great deal of this is done at the general, cultural, educational, social and trade level. The Association currently has as its members over 110 ethnic, cultural, welfare and corporate groups from the geographical areas of Latin America, Africa, South East Asia, The Far East, The Middle East, The Indian Sub-Continent, Eastern Europe, Europe, Australia and the Islands with a composite membership of over 15,000.

The services offered by AAA to these organisation are free/heavily subsidised and are not available from Federal, State or Local government – making us a unique organisation especially in the present where the policy is ‘User Pays’. In recognition of this unique service provided by us and the nature of the service itself, the Association was granted exemption from Income Tax under Section 23(e). The Association has a proven record of service to the West Australian Community for the past 50 years, supplemented by grants for specified projects.
