Our Mission

Rooted in respect, preservation and community

At the Assyrian Australian Association, our mission is rooted in respect, preservation, and community. Everything we do — from casework to classrooms to cultural events — is guided by this same set of principles.

“Through these efforts, the AAA continues to be a pillar of support, unity, and pride for the Assyrian community in Australia.”
