Our Mission

“To provide Goans and their friends an enjoyable and a relaxing time without the need for formal membership. In doing this, we will showcase our cultural activities and also learn and integrate with the multicultural society of Melbourne”.

We do not have membership or a hierarchy in our organisation. We believe that formal structures may not necessararily be the best way to project the image of a community particularly when one is a minority in a large multicultural country like Australia.

A review of our records (over the last 4 years) reveals, that we are conforming to what we have established ourselves for and as a matter of fact, we have drawn a lot of Goans from the wood works that have enjoyed our events since coming to birth in the year 2003.

We are aiming to take this organisation in quantum leap with the help of all who have genuine interest to uphold our ethnicity and integrate peacefully in our adopted country - Australia. We are pleased to see that we have some mainstream Australian as our family members and many good friends. Integration is essential for living in Peace in a multicultural society of Australia and our Melbourne in particular.

One cannot achieve this by working in vacuum. The question of “integration” was echoed by one of our local Members of Parliament in the Parliamentary debate; the text of which is reproduced under “Ministerial Acknowledgement” on our website. As people of Goa, we need to project the image of the community as a well integrated ethnic group which has a valuable contribution to make to the life of our adopted country – Australia.
