ABOUT

Papua New Guinea Association of Western Australia

The Papua New Guinea Association of Western Australia (PNGAWA) is dedicated to building and nurturing the connection between Papua New Guineans and individuals with ties to Papua New Guinea (PNG). Aligning with the association’s objectives, various initiatives and events are created to promote a strong bond within the community and provide support for those who have a connection to PNG. Whether it's through cultural events, networking opportunities, or simply coming together to celebrate the rich heritage of Papua New Guinea, the association strives to bring people together and foster a sense of belonging and unity. By strengthening these bonds, the association hopes to create a sense of community and support for Papua New Guineans and their extended network in Western Australia.

Building for Tomorrow

Our people are the heart of our community. We value each and every individual for their unique contributions and strive to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all. Our community is built on the foundation of diversity, respect, and unity. Together, we work towards the common goal of fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment for everyone. We believe in the power of collaboration and understanding, and we are dedicated to uplifting each other and celebrating our differences. Our people are the driving force behind the strength and vibrancy of our community, and we are committed to nurturing and growing together as one cohesive unit.

Our vision is to continue strengthening our bond so that we can witness our children build upon the foundation we have laid and further unite and strengthen our cultures and traditions. It is important for us to instil in our children the values and practices that are important to our heritage and to ensure that they are able to carry on our legacy. By working together and preserving our traditions, we can create a strong and vibrant community for future generations. Through this, we can ensure that our cultural identity and traditions continue to thrive and be passed down to future generations and shared within the diverse multicultural WA and Australia.
