The Australian Pacific Cultural & Community Centre

The Australian Pacific Cultural & Community Centre initiative creates a vibrant space

where diverse traditions, languages, and heritage from across Oceania are honoured

and explored. From immersive exhibits—including the PNGAA Collection—to live storytelling,

collaborative partnerships, and open-air festivities, it strengthens Pacific ties while cherishing

each unique identity. By learning, engaging and connecting, we build bridges across communities—and your support can help bring this shared vision to life.

We welcome your support in bringing this vision to life—every contribution counts.

Whether you’d like to volunteer, collaborate, or simply spread the word, we’d love to hear from you.
